– Tried to once fix an electric kettle with duct tape.
- unixhero 5y agoAs you can see in the photo, there is discoloration on the plastic. Yes these have almost melted several times.
- vanderZwan 5y agoCorrect, but it doesn't touch the coffee nor do I have to touch that part of the lid, so I'm not too worried (also I just pretend my buddy is getting old and blind with age)
- zerocount 5y agoSpeaking of duct tape, I'm using it as a bandaid right now. It really is a universal 'fix all.' haha
- KineticLensman 5y agoYes. The rules of DIY: If it moves when it shouldn't, use duct tape[0]. If it doesn't move when it should, use WD40 [0] A slightly heretical alternative here is to use cable ties, daisy-chained if necessary for larger jobs.
- p_l 5y agoArguably cable ties are the plastic edition of pre-tape bailing wire
