DIY Spray Booth For Painting Guitars
This is a spray booth I made for painting my guitars. Bad weather situations would frequently delay my projects (or ruin them if I was stubborn enough to paint in high humidity, etc.).

When it comes to duct tape this is one of the most versatile types of adhesive tape you can purchase to use in the home today. Some people use it for keeping floor rugs in place, others to repair hoses or upholstery. Whilst other people use it for repairing cracked windows until they get the glass replaced or to make repairs to the binding of a book. Another use of duct tape is to keep the batteries in place in a remote control device whether the cover has been damaged or lost.
Electrical Tape
Different Types of Adhesive Tape and What it is Used For
The next type of adhesive tape that you should have a supply of in the home is electrical tape. Although it should only ever be used for when installing new electrical items like lights or ceiling fans it has other uses as well. If you find you need some wire nuts and don't have any readily available then you can use this type of tape instead.

Another way in which electrical tape can be used is for making temporary repairs to electrical cords. If you use it for this purpose then you will need to replace the cord as soon as you realistically can. Also you may find electrical adhesive tape use for help when you need to install a booster for an antenna. It will help to protect any plugs that are situated outside from inclement weather.
Another type of adhesive tape that you should consider buying for your home and which many good hardware and DIY stores will have in stock is one for the carpet. A strip of this is placed between two pieces of carpet where they meet. But in order for the adhesive to stick to the carpets a specialist steam machine is required and it can also be used like duct tape as a way of keeping rugs in place.
Then it is worth your while purchase some cloth or gaffer tape as it is more commonly known. The name that most people know it by comes from the theatre and movie industry and people would go to the "gaffer" boss to get some tape when needed. In most cases this type of adhesive tape that you can purchase can be used for securing cables and other objects around the home.
Of course no home is really complete without having some form of sellotape or clear adhesive tape in the home. This as we all know comes in useful for doing a wide variety of jobs from taping two pieces of paper together or to seal a bag of crisps which has been opened. Plus of course we all use it when wrapping birthday gifts and other presents that we give to others. Some people often use it for sticking notes to different surfaces so that they have a reminder of something that they need to do or buy.

Just sticking together and then pulling apart two pieces of duct tape will cause them to produce a blue line of light in an effect called triboluminescence. Special thanks to Ashi58 for letting me use his footage, his channel can be seen here: www.youtube.com What's happening is that the action of pulling apart the glue causes charge separation in the two strips. The charges then attempt to recombine and collide with nearby molecules (of tape, glue, or air) exciting them and releasing light. Interestingly, in a vacuum there is no air to slow down the charges so they collide at full energy and release x-rays. This serves as the basis for the sticky-tape x-ray machine published in the journal Nature.
