Aircraft mechanics often refer to "hundred mile per hour tape," but it even gets used on jets. A case of tape was used to temporarily replace much of the fabric on the fuselage and tail of a bush plane that smelled of fish in bear country. Workmanship matters. When sealing a glider canopy for a record run along a windy ridge, someone didn't press hard and consistently, and a small section turned into a screaming reed for over ten hours.
