You forgot the waxed paper strip interleaved to keep the tape separated from itself.

“Gotta make a new tape dispenser out of hardened steel armor plate too. This plastic one keeps breaking.”

Well wait until he gets his finger stuck to it.

Gorilla tape actually is pretty good. I tape an extension cord to the concrete wall of my garage and its stayed there for years.

Reminds me of the guy who invented the world’s strongest solvent but couldn’t figure out a way to bottle it…

You know that warning on super-glue about “binds in seconds — do not get on your fingers”? Totally true, as I learned somewhat painfully last month. (Healed now, tho, and fortunately no scars.)

The problem with universal solvent is finding a jar to keep it in…

That Robot is really weird. He has roller wheels for feet, yet he tries to run like a human. Go figure.

Hard to peel off? Someone already invented that – it is called “packing tape.”

wait…didn’t he try to invent a tape with the adhesive strength of Krazy Glue to EXACTLY this effect before? I think it can work if the back of the tape strip was made out of a substance that the adhesive wouldn’t stick to, though you may need to wear gloves made out of that substance as well so you don’t get stuck to it.

No, E.B. You do not want chisels! What is required is a solvent. And maybe stronger fingernails than Monty’s.

Oh, Dehlia!

During Superheroes Week at a Camp where I’ve volunteered, whenever we had (fake) trouble, we had a popular saying:

“Sounds like a job for … DUCT TAPE MAN!”
