3M, Duct Tape, Interior Painting

My Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape has gotten me out of many a touchy situation throughout the years. Whenever I did not have the needed tool or ‘repair aid’, I could turn to my 3M duct tape. It has proven very versatile, very durable, and affordable. Let me explain why I love my Scotch 3M duct tape so much.

First of all, my Scotch 3M duct tape has no fancy features. It is heavy duty and strong enough to handle quite a lot of situations. It is very versatile. It is made for both indoor and outdoor usage. It is advertised as being for use in either home or office.

My Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape comes in one color, gray. I like this color since it is nondescript. It is plain and simple.

My Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape is water resistant and temperature-proof. Therefore, I can use it outdoors and not worry about it losing its adhesiveness. That is nice.

My roll of Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape contains 60 yards worth. It is about 2″ wide. With that much yardage, my roll lasts me a long time. I like that.

What I really like about my Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape is how easy it is to tear. It is so strong and durable; there is no clinging involved. It does take more strength to tear it than scotch tape, though. Plus, it takes two hands.

The uses for my Scotch 3M heavy Duty duct tape seem to be endless. For personal effects it has been used to repair eyeglass frames. It can be a temporary replacement for glue on shoe soles. This helps when the shoe repair is closed. It has been used as a temporary replacement for a missing pants snap. It has been used as a temporary fix for a busted bra strap. I have used it as a temporary luggage clasp.

Anywhere I can use scotch tape, I can use my Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape. It just is not as pretty. Plus, it is not transparent. I understand that one can buy a transparent variety, though. For instance, I have used my Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape to repair my sheet music. I just tear a thin strip. It works remarkably well.

As far as my exterior usage goes, my Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape is great for masking cement. It covers up holes remarkably well. I use it during painting to hold up sheets. It can be used to hold metal joints in place. It can be used to repair trellises. This is only touching on the variety of ways to use Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape for outdoor repairs.

For outdoor equipment: My 3M duct tape can tape shut tent tears. It can repair backpack rips. It can bind together ski and/or tent poles. It can hold together lawn mower handles. It can hold together unused gloves during off-season. Actually, almost anytime you need something to hold together (or ‘bundle’), Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape should do the trick.

It has been used to ‘caulk’ wall corner cracks. It can be used as a weather insulator both internally and externally. It is good to hang plastic sheeting with.

I have used my Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape to seal boxes. It has been used to secure gift wrapping. The gray color may not be as attractive as clear, but it is a conversation starter.
