Adhesive Tape

An important part of your horse's health care needs is for you to develop a partnership with a veterinarian prior to an emergency. You can begin developing a partnership by consulting your veterinarian for your horse's routine and preventive health care.

Your horse should be vaccinated at least once a year. The type of vaccinations your horse requires is determined by age and overall health. Your veterinarian can recommend what vaccinations your horse needs.

In the U.S., you may want to help protect your horse by vaccinating for the West Nile Virus. Contact your veterinarian if you see any of these signs in your horse; loss of appetite, depression, fever, stumbling or tripping, weakness in the legs, impaired vision, wandering or circling, inability to swallow, partial paralysis, head pressing or tilt, inability to stand up, convulsions.

De-worm your horse several times each year. It is recommended to alternate de-worming products and different de-worming classifications (mebendazole, organosphosphate, avermectine, etc.). Most de-wormers must be used every 60 days. Paste de-worming is as effective as tube de-worming. It is best to consult with your veterinarian when establishing a de-worming program.

The old de-worming tubes come in handy to dispense tablets to your horse. Crush the tablets and put into the tube. Add a little bit of water and shake until a paste forms. Then administer it like you would a de-wormer.

Teeth should also be checked once a year. Your horse's teeth may need to be filed due to uneven wear. Symptoms of improper chewing include feed falling from your horse's mouth while chewing, your horse holds its head to one side to chew, wasted feed, excessive slobbering, indigestion, and large amounts of whole grain in the feces. Your horse's teeth may need to be checked if it is starting to take longer to eat its feed. Strong, sour odors from the mouth can be indications of tooth cavities or food particles lodged in the mouth. If you horse eats, but seems to be losing weight, or maybe is not handling as well while riding anymore, then floating (filing) the teeth may be necessary to remove sharp edges that are causing discomfort or making it difficult to grind food.

Keep a first aid kit handy containing items such as diluted iodine solution, hydrogen peroxide, Neosporin, sterile gauze sponges and rolls, self-adhesive tape (vet wrap), blunt-tipped bandage scissors, topical eye ointment, sedative and pain killer. Consult with your veterinarian on what is appropriate to have in the first aid kit. Contact your veterinarian any time your horse appears sick, disoriented, or has been injured.

Many types of mineral and vitamin supplements are on the market. Use commercially prepared supplements and never exceed the recommended levels. If feeding your horse a grain concentrate, check the ingredients. Often the concentrate will provide all the necessary vitamins and minerals your horse needs without needing to add any additional supplement.

Clean your horse's hooves before and after you ride. Examine all hooves frequently for problems. Hooves need to be trimmed regularly. Most horses need to have their hooves trimmed, or shoes reset every six to eight weeks. A qualified farrier can make recommendations for your horse.

There are many different types of adhesive tapes available each made from different materials and designed for different purposes. Adhesive tape is one of the most popular methods for sticking material together although in many cases it is only a temporary method.

Most tape is used to bond a material on to another material by overlapping them, double sided adhesive tape differs. This type of tape has a layer of material on which both sides are coated with an adhesive and not just a single side. Double sided tape has the capability of bonding to surfaces together (on top of each other) this is something single sided tape is not capable of. It is also very strong and the adhesive used is much stronger than that of adhesives like sellotape.

The adhesive laid on to both sides of the tape must be covered with a material otherwise the tape would lose its stickiness... A thin layer of material (often paper or plastic like) is laid on to either side of the tape, when the tape is required you simply peel back both sides of the adhesive covering to reveal the adhesive itself. This layer of material is specially made to peel off easily and not detract from the effectiveness of the adhesive. The other part of the tape is available in many different colours however once peeled back the tape will still be white, due to its double sidedness and the nature in which it is used the tape will not remain visible so colour is not an issue.

Duct tapes have become an indispensable part of a tool kit. These strong, multi-purpose adhesive tapes are a popular means of fixing broken materials and equipments. However, the use of duct tapes is not limited to emergency patch-up measures. They are now used for creating a range of accessories and decorative items. Today, duct tape crafts are featured in many lifestyle books and magazines. There are a growing number of fans and patrons for this art. Duct tape crafts have almost become a cult in the United States. A whole new breed of experts has emerged to cater to the rising demands of duct tape crafts.

Duct tape crafts are now a common feature in competitions held at various cultural events. Popular items created with duct tapes include wallets, belts, guitar straps, purses, bracelets, folders, visors and backpacks. This craft is also applied in the fashion industry. Many retailers feature fashionable duct tape handbags sporting reputed brand names. Duck Products, one of the most famous manufacturers of quality duct tapes, organizes an annual competition for creating stylish formal wears. The popularity of duct tape crafts can be judged by the variety of shades and hues that are available today including fluorescent and transparent varieties.

The popularity of duct tape crafts is so high that in 2002, when duct tapes turned 60 years old, numerous contests were held, and to mark this occasion, the Duck Products Company created an American flag entirely from duct tape.

Gorilla Tape 6035182 2-Inch by 35-Yard Tape Roll, Black Review

I don't think there is a perfect type of duct tape out there that will do every kind of task for which duct tape was designed for. Gorilla tape is for jobs that require a thicker duct tape; about twice as thick as the regular kind, and for those jobs that require the tape to have very little stretch. This tape is great for outdoor applications, where the tape will be exposed to the elements.

Before I started using it, I read that it has too much adhesive on it, but I disagree. It has the right amount of adhesive...to stick to porous surfaces like brickwork and wood. And when you peel it off, there is hardly any residual adhesive remaining on the surface. I also read that Gorilla tape smells awful, but it does not....it smells like licorice and paint thinner...and you'd literally have to have the tape right against your nose to be able to smell it.

For its double thickness, I was pleasantly surprised at how easily this tape can be torn to size by hand. No knife or scissors are needed to cut it.

Because this is a use-specific product, this and other brands of duct tape are NOT made for packing carboard boxes...use packing tape instead! Packing tape is made to stretch before it tears. Packing tape is made to be cut by a knife or scissors; and packing tape is made to stick to cardboard. If you use Gorilla tape or another brand for packaging, the tape will eventually tear at the edges of the cardboard box (where there is motion), so don't use any duct tape for packaging...duct tape is not designed to perform like packing tape. Also, duct tape is not designed to be used as painters' masking tape....with Gorilla tape's extra adhesive, it would be a disaster when you peel it off and find out you took pieces of drywall or plaster with it! Duct tape is not masking tape, so don't expect it to perform like masking tape.


If I had to pick one brand of duct tape to keep in the car for emergencies or in my tool box, Gorilla tape would be my choice.

Customer Review: Duct Tape O.D.
Expensive as hell for a tiny little roll. But it really is good stuff.


Adhesive Tape

The Henkel Duck clean-release masking tape provides professional-grade quality for safe and easy use on delicate surfaces. Use this high-quality painter's tape on glass, vinyl, wood, painted wallboard, and even wallpaper and stained wood. The tape removes cleanly for up to 14 days, even if left in direct sunlight. The thick, flexible blue crepe paper backing prevents bleed-through or edge creep and the special formulated acrylic adhesive is ultraviolet resistant, permitting residue-free removal. The tape is blue in color and comes in a 1.88-inch-by-60-yard roll.
