guys, calm down…it’s airframe tape. It’s incredible stuff. You put it on, hammer it to release the chemicals, then it bonds stronger than a weld. In the Royal Australian Air Force, the standard joke was:

“Why are our planes painted silver and green?”

“They’re not. They’re painted green. The rest’s tape!”



Other than colour, airframe tape isn't anything like duct tape or any tape you'd likely ever see.  it's basically sheet aluminum with a high strength epoxy on one side.

A funny mistake. It is mean to be $139,000*100 of repairs.

no, if you watched the video on smh.com.au, you'd know it cost $139 million.

that's a lot of duct tape and glue.

Oh really? That's what I said.

haha edit failure... that equals $13.9 million.

Haha, peel and stick application.

Actually someone broke my toilet tank cover... I should just tape it back together with this airframe tape. Is anyone selling some for btc?

Handle your toilet's tank with extreme and delicate care as you would with an ornament.

saw this on smh this morning:



i wonder how much duct tape and glue you can buy for $139.


Quite a lot, especially when enough of it is used to stick a whole engine back up. Grin

And they took 18 months. Probably they were using trained monkeys instead of skilled workers
