Little question, calmed down after my rant last night.
Will Duck Tape damage the canvas on my hood if i use it to try and make it water proof until i get it repaired?

it probly just leave big tape stains,which should come of after a good scrub.

Its not nice to get any sticky stuff on the roof, you can get sticky stuff removers but i suppose depending whats in them, may cause damage to the canvas. What bit are you trying to do a temporary repair on ?

As another thought, could you not use one of those car caps? and tuck it under the complete roof and then tucked in by the windows and roof channel? might look a bit pikey but would at least cover the whole roof and avoid getting any further damage ?

Isn't it 'Duct' tape?

Duck tape You guys crack me up.

it can be either duct or duck!

i would use foil tape myself. its unlikely to come off but doesnt leave much residue.

Wasn't to sure how you spell it?
Have a read of my post F**king B**tards!
Its rear window to hood.

it's definitely called duck tape. tape for ducks. Brand name.

its called a lot of things. i call it closure tape, heating engineers will understand, even though its actually crap at the job we use it for.

yeah but like I said, there is a brand of "closure tape" called Duck Tape.

Don't confuse it with gaffer tape - tape for gaffers.

pretty much the same thing, read the link mate.

avoid confusion and get straight to the point - it's called Rape tape

I wasn't aware there was a duck tape as well, still made me chuckle though. A lad at work who thought it was funny to screw a grease nipple into the side of someones toolbox and fill it up with grease, knows about tape.

Tape on the inside, then it wont matter about any stains.

Exactly my thought or use 3m 3434 blue maskling tape, sticks well but doesnt leave residue on bodywork, not tried on the roof though.

Rosco you read my mind!!
