Some days gaffer's tape just isn't enough - and that's when the old trusty silver roll is broken out to mend your woes, gear, and maybe something like a wallet on the snare. But what do you do for a monster drummer or a quick fix inside a tube cabinet (not on the tubes themselves of course)?

Nuclear grade duct tape.

Yuppers. To make us all feel safer about nuclear energy, it's nice to know nuclear physicists can now solve their problems just like everybody else. (Insert Chernobyl and 3 Mile Island jokes here).

Anyway, whats' great about this stuff is that it's easier to write on, can take up to 200 degrees of heat, and is pretty water tight - which makes it a flexible problem solver for your fusion powered Hafler amp or sealing a cracked mic or Pelican case in the middle of nowhere. Plus, you get bragging rights just having it in your kit and all the stupid "nuclear option" jokes the crew and band can handle.

Lastly, I encourage you to read the Amazon reviews on this. None of them are real, but all of them are hilarious - especially the bizarre customer image of what looks like a radioactive poo monster (?). Buy @ Amazon
