Things you should NEVER use duct tape for

[rileyt]

Well… I’m a big fan of duct tape… but over on the Dressage board (under the spurs thread) there is an example of what you should NEVER use it for! Anyone else have words of wisdom on what duct tape should never be used on? I’ll start…

If your chin strap on your helmet breaks right before stadium jumping… be careful that any duct tape used is totally folded over on itself… otherwise, it’ll catch your hair… which you won’t notice until you pull your helmet off with a quick motion… owww…

jsg, look at the spurs thread on the dressage forum! There’s a posted picture of a young woman at a fraternity formal and you can see the duct tape on her chest! Maybe it’s the one from the email…

Yikes, you can’t put the duct over the nipples! Under the boobs is the only way to achieve that uplifting affect. Putting the duct on carpet prior to application is a good idea, I’ll try that next time. What I’ve done is prior to removal liberally spread baby oil around the edges, then remove in a hot shower. The sticky residue left over can be removed with rubbing alcohol, or if that fails, careful application with nail polish remover (no open flames!).

sorry I don’t have any good duct tape stories, but my friend’s Vogels started to cut off the circulation on day one of showing. They had to ::gasp:: CUT them off her, the next day to show she taped them back on herself with hockey tape.

I screamed. LOUD. Cats went flying. My mother came running up the stairs wondering what on earth was wrong.

I showed her (well, I worked up to it by showing her the duct tape bra thing first) and she screamed.

We’ve both just now settled down from laughing so freaking hard at that picture. But, it’s kind of making me ill since the guy looks A LOT like someone from my dorm.

So, I’ll just second Kryswyn with:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGROSSSSSSSPEW!!

Can you believe those guys in the first picture???

I mean, when in the world would such dippy guys get such nice looking girls outside of frat houses?

OMG, I got that email too! How funny was that? Seriously though, that is a great way to improve your “shape” in a strapless or backless dress!

My bum isn’t as perky as it used to be and I admit, I am sitting here wondering whether a strip underneath the cheeks would yield similar success. Could someone please try this and report in? Duffy, AHC, anyone?

And are they ever perky! However, I have found that removing duct tape from the underside of the twins can be extremely painful… most “X-rated” boutiques sell special half-moon pasties that are far easier to remove.

However, I’m still ROFLMAO too! LOLOL

For the benefit of the youth of today…

Boob-taping is best done with an extra pair of hands, one to tape, one to strategically position. Firstly, I cut mine into 3-inch strips but use judgement dependent on your size. I also like to cut them in half horizontally to avoid the risk of duct-tape peepage, graphically evidenced in the photo posted earlier.

Lie down, and position your friends into place.
Do not place too high - you want natural perky boobs not a chin rest.

While grasped in place, your boob-assistant should firmly tape into place at the sides and at the bottom avoiding wrinkles and ‘air bubbles’.

The procedure sounds difficult but like a sitting trot, gets easier over time.

Good luck and may the force be with you.

Ok the wedding pic is just priceless. Look at all of the face on the men/boys in the photo. To funny! I wonder if she was the next to be wed???

good question, I fear that I was not aware that this was a What not to use duct tape on the BODY for, I thought it was just a general back to the stone age “what is your fav tool” Sorry, as for what part of the body, …scrunchie? I dont know…

contains only two items, duct tape and WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn’t, use duct tape. If it should move and it doesn’t, use WD-40.

AHC, pre-application, pat the duct tape on carpet so that you won’t need to be tranquilized for the de-stripping.

Hmmm, let’s see, was it this picture? I am guiltless, BTW, as Duffy emailed it to me!

Heidi…

That might give you a weird crease! Forget panty lines, you’d have tape lines!

I have a mildly funny duct tape story that is unfortuneatly not horse related…

A group of girls (including me) were sitting around backstage during a production of the “Nutcracker” (yes, believe it or not, I participate in these shows). We had been instructed by a tech crew member to remove a cushion that had been tied to a prop. After taking turns fiddling with the knot, we pulled over a rather cute techie and asked him if HE was any good with knots. He looked at us kinda funny and said, “Why do you think we asked you guys to untie it? We don’t do knots; we use duct tape!”
