FOR EMERGENCY ROADSIDE REPAIR,
DON'T FORGET THE DUCT TAPE
Are you prepared to make emergency repairs to your automobile
if it breaks down on the highway? Every driver should be ready
to temporarily fix their automobile by keeping some essential
tools on hand during all travels. Emergency roadside repair
kits should contain items such as jumper cables, flares, a
flashlight, wrench and most importantly -- duct tape. Duct
tape, the most versatile tool, can be used to fix everything
from a hanging bumper to a broken hose, until proper repairs
can be made.
Whether driving five miles to the grocery
store or 500 miles to see family in another state, unexpected
breakdowns and roadside emergencies are inevitable. Now, drivers
can prepare themselves for these frustrating situations by
carrying Duck® brand Duct Tape in the glove compartment
or trunk of their car.
DUCK TAPE IS PERFECT FOR THE CAR
For Temporary Emergency Roadside Repair:
- Temporarily repair tears in hoses and
belts. Or, in a real emergency, construct a provisional
fan belt.
- Tape cracked windows and lights. If
the damage is substantial, tape plastic over broken windows
until fixed.
- Hold up broken fenders, bumpers, and
dragging mufflers.
- Secure broken or loose wiper blades.
- Make an emergency rope by layering
the tape over itself.
- Put X-Factor Duck Tape on windows to
signal for help.
- Tape shut glove compartment, doors,
hood and trunk if latches break.
For Temporary Body and Interior Work:
- Fix holes, tears and cracks in upholstery,
arm rests, seat covers and dashboard padding.
- Use Duck Tape to secure a sun visor
that won't stay up.
- Bind loose wires.
- Fasten down floor mats to keep them
from sliding.
- Create a water-resistant patch.
- Hide rust spots and holes.
- Reinforce loose gas tank doors.
- Reattach hood ornaments or loose license
plates.
- Hold interior and exterior mirrors
in place.
For Road Trips:
- Secure tarps and covers from flapping
in the wind. Or, repair tears and holes to protect luggage
and belongings underneath.
- Tape a map to the dashboard for easy
reference.
- Seal coolers and casseroles to prevent
leakage from melting ice or spilling food during transport.
Other Suggested Uses:
- Bundle tools and flashlights together
for safekeeping and easy location.
- Strap a spare key somewhere on your
car in case you get locked out.
- Cover fingers with Duck Tape to create
an extra layer of protection when dealing with hot hoses
and parts. Or, protect cuts from grease and dirt.
- Make a funnel to easily pour fluids
such as oil or window cleaner.
