"I usually carry aluminum metal-repair tape instead. It's just as sticky as duct tape, but holds a shape better (stiffer) and stands up to heat better." Aircraft mechanics use this tape for temporary repairs on external/skin punctures/holes until a riveted patch can be put on at a maint. stopover. So, it withstands high speeds as well as heat. The heat produced by the speeds achieved by our vans ...... well, good thing we have aluminum tape ;>) Bob http://groups.msn.com/BobsPhotoShare
