Gaffa tape with the sticky side outwards. Anyone who has been in a band
will tell you that there is nothing that Gaffa tape will NOT stick to.

I have some amusing examples:

1. Bass player cocooned in said tape and then stuck to front door at
Christmas party

2. Drum kit stuck to roof (outside) of transit van with said tape whilst
drummer (er, me) played along with "Won't get fooled again" on the
stereo, on the way home from drinking session in Leamington Spa.

3. Most of my first car (mini clubman) held together with said tape,
including radiator held in place (brackets snapped), inner sills
comprised *entirely* of tape, stereo taped to dash, horn prevented from
blowing continuously by tape, most of wiring loom held together with
tape, la la la la

4. Home made set of speakers held together with tape. The wood panels
were carefully cut with dovetail joints only to find we hadn't any glue.
A "temporary" fix with tape was used which ended up lasting about 4
years and at least 30 gigs, although ever-increasing amounts of tape
were required for this. I believe the speakers double in size over the
years (owing to the increasing amounts of tape used) but they sounded
better and better as the tape acted as resonant deadening material.


Ah, those were the days. I'm surprised I'm still alive.
