Gorilla Tape is a good idea for boaters that need a quick fix.

October 1, 2006

Duct tape has often been great for on-the-go DIYers. It's typically a good idea for boaters to have a handy product on board in case the need for a quick fix arises. Gorilla Glue has introduced a smaller, 12-yard role of "go everywhere" Gorilla Tape that packs a powerful punch. It still has the three defining factors of traditional Gorilla Tape: strong reinforced backing, a touch outer shell and double-thick adhesive. The newest Gorilla tape grips smooth, rough and porous surfaces. It retails for around $5 (513) 321-1187, www.gorillaglue.com.
