This is a question Bodge Jobs

If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

Gaffer tape is not the same as duct tape
gaffer tape is a cloth backed tape designed to be cleanly removed
duct tape is often a plastic backed fabric tape with adhesive that is designed to be semi-permanent

duck tape is a brand of duct tape,and isn't even very good
