Only joking.

Here the layered tape, can't do without this stuff, it's so useful for so many things!

I can see that the labourer had plans to screw the exhaust in around more than just two edges, but the brittle nature of the plastic wouldn't allow for it. as a result I felt that I should tape the edges to make it more secure (even though it had teeth the other end) and to distribute the pulling fo...
