@@WolfmanDOM Had to look up on his YT channel and he has a video on why he hates duct tape. TLDR (recommend watching the vid anyway), he hates it because it's a jack of all trades type of material, and there are better solutions for problems that duct tape can technically solve. It just so happens that duct tape is much more known in pop culture, and is a material that you can engineer stuff with, hence episodes on duct tape.

@marallenrondez2606 He was in the business, so he used gaffer tape and that's what he swears by. I believe I've never used duct tape. I've used wiring tape, piping tape and gaffer tape I don't think I've ever used duct tape, which is weird.

32:45 Duct Tape for boat repair. Not so good. But MILLIPUT is magnificent! A guy hit a rock in England with his sailing boat, and it made a hole about the size of a tennis ball. Quick thinking, he kneaded some Milliput he had on boat, and the two-component epoxy putty reacted as it should. The boat repair man had to cut around the hardened Milliput Plug to repair the damage. It was simply too hard to drill out. So, for smaller leaks, I would bring some packs of Milliput rather than Duct Tape when I go sailing. Great episode of MythBusters!

34:12 you can fix a hole with while on see the problem with what they did was the boat was quiet small and the didn't put enough effort into fixing the leak. After the put the first patch on it they still should hold the hole with the hand or foot while making a second and third patch. The putting tape around the patches and then in cross two layers on top of it.
