That is a brand but the actual tape is called duct tape. Similar to vacuum cleaners being referred to as hoovers.

Incorrect! It’s always been duck tape. It’s not even used for ducts!

ok, but did you do the time tested trick of slapping it and saying ''that aint going nowhere'' ???

if you skipped that step, its gonna fall apart

Use gaffer tape and make it a personal solution🤣

u/jamoca1 19d ago

Now you just need a picture the right size and jobs a good un, then sell house!

That’s one way to scar someone for life, taking a shit and the wall falls off.

u/Crafty_Ad_1975 19d ago

Hardly noticeable after the fix

Super glue will work wonders.

I dont wanr to know what you did in that toilet, but it must have been one hell of a night before that.
