I have heard announcers speak of "hundred mile an hour tape" or "two
hundred mile an hour tape" I gather it depends how fast they think
the car is capable of going after it has been in a wreck.  It all
looks just like "duck tape" to me.  I think Red Green has the right
idea, "the handyman's secret weapon."  I use the stuff all the time.

PS:  The school kids got back from NYC all in one piece, nobody got
abducted at South ST Seaport or anywhere else for that matter and a
good time was had by all.  Don't think he was too impressed by the
Seaport though, I asked him how he liked it and there was a pause
then "It was interesting."
