    Duct tape is like The Force.

    It has a light side and a dark side, and holds the Universe together.

    wire coat hangers were the city kids bailing wire 😉 from exhaust systems to car tags to use as filler rods when welding

    some times it comes down use what what you have

    I have found the "gorilla" brand duct take the best so far by the way

    Unless you have a Japanese car- THEN you need a Japanese coat hanger- and they are hard to find.

    Japanese coat hangers are a bit more expensive but the engineering and build quality is top notch.

    just buy a synthetic one, they are rated for all cars and even a few motorcycles...........

    Wow, I thought I was the only one to use coat hangers for welding back in the '60's. Mom never did figure out where all her coat hangers went.

    Baling wire and seagrass string. My farm is built on it. Still finding caches of it in the barn, still using it. Appears that it lasts forever.

    If you don't want it to move, use ducK tape.

    If you want it to move, use WD-40.

    I also learnt to weld with oxy/acetylene and coat hangers on mufflers/glass packs...early 70's. Later in the ARMY I took a welding class at night school.
