It appears that in the UK most of the stocks of Duct Tape and Cable ties have now been bought by ladies of a certain age, who have just read 52 Shades of Gray !!!, Sounds like a painful way to do your bikini line !!!!

You can iron a patch of duct tape onto tents, waterproofs, any fabric really, with an iron on the lowest/ nylon setting. It softens up the adhesive and really bonds it together.

Duct tape, super glue and Wd40. I f##king love 'em.
I know it sounds a bit weird but the smell of WD40 is one of my favourite things .

It's called ASBO tape (no, not that kind of ASBO) I found it when I moved into my last flat. It's black, stronger than duct tape, and it stays sticky for ages, even when it's left out. I tested it, pulled a strip of duct tape out and laid it in the airing cupboard, sticky side up. Did the same with the asbo tape. Duct tape not sticky after a couple of days. ASBO tape, still sticky over a month later?! strangest stuff I've wever had - not seen it in any shops, not that I've really searched to be honest.
If you do spot it though, get some!
hmmm it appears to be a form of electrical tape from what i can find, its used for its insulation properties and ive read a few references to it containing asbestos!
although i also found this which is refered to as asbo tape
