Duct tape

All of the pieces pictured here are not going to fit perfectiy into each other and that s going to cause all sorts of leaks. The answer is teflon tape. Strike loves teflon tape This inexpensive product is found in the plumbing department of any hardware store and is the duct tape of the next century. Teflon tape is chemically and thermally indestructible. This stuff is wrapped around any piece of pipe or joint, said part then jammed into its appropriate receptacle and the tape will mold to form a perfect fit. Hell, it can mummify a whoie joint compiex to make it absolutely impregnable. 

Duct mastic has replaced duct tape as the most effective sealing material. Mastic is a fibrous, elastomeric compound that permanently seals duct connections and seams. In addition, the boot connections between ducts and floors and between walls and ceilings should be fully caulked and/or foamed airtight. Lastly, air handlers that house the... 

Return air for the HVAC system should not be supplied from the crawlspace. It is best to avoid routing return air ductwork through the crawlspace, but if it must be, then it should be thoroughly sealed with duct tape at a minimum. It should be understood, however, that duct tape may dry out and fall off. A better approach would be to use seamless ductwork in these areas. The use of floor joists and subflooring as three sides of a return air plenum should be avoided because of the difficulties encountered in sealing. If the space between the joists must be used, an alternative to ducts is to use a rectangular duct to fit the space.

In December of 2002, a three-hour total power failure undermined the containment systems at an infectious disease laboratory at Plum Island, New York. Workers had to resort to sealing the doors with duct tape, as the air compressors failed. 

Unlike conventional explosives, which have instantaneous effects, chemical clouds take time to reach their target. This allows additional time to move out of the way or into a protective enclosure. In the case of civilians, anyone inside a soundly constructed house or car would almost certainly have full protection, even at distances as short as 50 meters, provided the doors and windows are closed. Putting duct tape and plastic over windows (or, as reported recently in one case, over the entire house) makes no sense. The blast effect of a warhead exploding closer than 50 meters would probably be more lethal than its contents of nerve gas. Furthermore, quick decontamination can prevent effects through the skin. Even ordinary clothing provides considerable protection. 

Short-term preservation (several weeks) can usually be successfully accomplished by generous application of polyethylene plastic wrap and duct-tape. Be careful in applying the tape to avoid direct contact with the items. The adhesive can be left behind on the part and when removed, can take with it important dust, fibers, or other data. Even short-term preservation requires some control of access, chain of custody documentation and conspicuously posted signs. Many workers are genuinely curious to learn and see for themselves what the damaged or essential part actually looks like, and may unintentionally cause changes. 

The contractor should seal off the work area from the rest of the residence and close off the heating/air conditioning system. Plastic sheeting and duct tape may be used, which can be carefully sealed with tape when work is complete. The contractor should take great care not to track asbestos dust into other areas of the residence.

Note that a moderately adhesive tape will be required (preferably, use vinyl tape or medical tape). Since most mice weigh about 25-35 g, duct tape is too strong and would not be required also, tape of this grade would likely tear hair, skin, and possible part of the tail off the animal.

The men bound the Willerts to chairs with duct tape and also taped their mouths. Before they fled out a back door with the ketamine, one of the men told them, We didn t harm you, we didn t hurt you. Please forgive us. Mrs. Willert managed to free herself and call the police. Police arrested three men for the robbery, one of whom allegedly drove the getaway vehicle. Police suspect the men were responsible for other ketamine robberies of veterinary clinics as well.
