@@WolfmanDOM Had to look up on his YT channel and he has a video on why he hates duct tape. TLDR (recommend watching the vid anyway), he hates it because it's a jack of all trades type of material, and there are better solutions for problems that duct tape can technically solve. It just so happens that duct tape is much more known in pop culture, and is a material that you can engineer stuff with, hence episodes on duct tape.
@marallenrondez2606 He was in the business, so he used gaffer tape and that's what he swears by. I believe I've never used duct tape. I've used wiring tape, piping tape and gaffer tape I don't think I've ever used duct tape, which is weird.
From experience I can tell you one roll would have been more than enough to tape someone to the ceiling. In fact most of the time half a roll would be sufficient if the person doesn’t move.
At 2:13 That’s the Canadian TV program The Red Green Show played by Steve Smith. 1/2 hr. silly Canadian handy man program. “ If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy “ He was always doing something with duct tape.
I really wish they could have gotten Steve Smith (Red Green) as a guest appearance for this special, since they used clips of his show in the beginning.
I once repaired a torn winter parka by using duct tape on the inside of the tear to hold the torn material in place, and then going over it with an iron. The repair lasted years.
i love this corny narration and different quirky lines, reminds me og getting home from school just in time to watch an episode on discovery channel on the old televison that was as broad as it was wide ;P
you can sort by oldest and scroll through the list that way but theres also little shorts in between episodes so every 3rd or 4th video is usually an episode in order
In 1960's Britain a lot of the kids TV went from episode to episode like it was planned by someone on LSD. The Magic Roundabout being a right tripfest for a 6 year old! I've no problem with Kari being pregnant one hour & as thin as a stair rod the next.

Got a strong "mandela effect" on this episode. I remember the duck tape boat melting and coming apart, also the cannon ball jammed up and blew a finger sized hole out
Cool. Both are not very unlikely possibilities. I wonder how many different mythbusters episodes exist in the multiverse, kind of makes the "busted" and "confirmed" not so definitive.
32:45 Duct Tape for boat repair. Not so good. But MILLIPUT is magnificent! A guy hit a rock in England with his sailing boat, and it made a hole about the size of a tennis ball. Quick thinking, he kneaded some Milliput he had on boat, and the two-component epoxy putty reacted as it should. The boat repair man had to cut around the hardened Milliput Plug to repair the damage. It was simply too hard to drill out. So, for smaller leaks, I would bring some packs of Milliput rather than Duct Tape when I go sailing. Great episode of MythBusters!
The Duct Tape Cannon, probably could fix it's main issue of not keeping it's shape by not making it 100% out of duct tape and giving it some basic structural support through some rebar or something.
34:12 you can fix a hole with while on see the problem with what they did was the boat was quiet small and the didn't put enough effort into fixing the leak. After the put the first patch on it they still should hold the hole with the hand or foot while making a second and third patch. The putting tape around the patches and then in cross two layers on top of it.
In my youth I'd always judge a musical instrument shop as "worthy" by 3 criteria - there was a "funny" herbal smell - the staff were mostly overweight hairy men in motorhead t-shirts - and the carpeting was held together with duct tape....happy days....
Pretty sure the "classified propellant" they used here was a can of hairspray, Jeremy Clarkson did the same thing with a barbecue lighter and some PVC piping on an old documentary. :p
And if you don't have that much duck tape you bought as a reserve for ages to come to repair your office chair? That day you needed it most it's price was spiking to mound heights.
My left ear enjoyed that narration
I just forced the whole pc to be mono for the episode, couldn't make it through else ^^"
I never realized anything was wrong lol. Watched at work only using my left earpiece the whole time so I could still hear with my right 😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
luckily i had a mono bluetooth speaker from the start😅
my left ear cannot actually hear much so i just couldnt hear it lol

Ether starting fluid is the “secret” propellant.
25:35 Now that's a lotta damage!

You can tell Grant was having a blast being on this show. What a loss.
Got a strong "mandela effect" on this episode. I remember the duck tape boat melting and coming apart, also the cannon ball jammed up and blew a finger sized hole out
Maybe you’re thinking of the ice boat. I don’t remember if there was one only built from ice but 100% they used frozen newspaper for one

fun fact: duct tape is called "Jesus tape" in Finland.
It's called Tank Tape in Germany.
Somebody tag Red Green 😂
13:06 incorrect, its called duck tape because the fabric originally used is called duck canvas. Now the use synthetic
