There's one use for duct tape that almost no one thinks of. It was actually recommended to me when I bought my first home: taping a duct. No joke – you can use duct tape to tape a duct! You could also try it on a duck, but it would probably object.

Depending on the color (and there is a rainbow of it out there), you can also use it to cover reflective surfaces including chrome if you need to hide something, or you can tape reflective orange / silver / whatever on your clothing or anything else you want to be able to find.

I know this is an old post but it made me laugh – we have a saying in our house "It ain't broke – it just needs a little duct tape." (Bad grammar and all – we are from KY )

Well, I've been educating myself on the many, many uses of this miraculous product! I guess it's one thing you can never have too much of!

Oh my gosh, duct tape kept my bumper on my car when I was in my 20s, until I could afford a new car. The stuff is amazing. We have a ton of it!

Ding, ding, ding!! I think we have a winner in the Most Creative category! Using duct tape to make a dress bodice would never have occurred to me, ever. LOL

My roommate's car got side-swiped by a city bus and it broke her right-side mirror off the car; she duct-taped it temporarily until she could afford to get it fixed — it held for a few months! My personal favorite use of duct tape is making perfectly-fitted bodice patterns: you put on a t-shirt that you don't mind being cut up, then wrap duct tape around it until the entire torso is covered. Then cut it off carefully, and use it as a pattern for making fitted tops or corsets or dress bodices!

I believe you! I've also seen car doors literally taped shut with duct tape! Not sure if someone was trying to keep their kids IN the car or OUT of it!
