A welder and an 8 lb sledge belong in those spots.

My credo
If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
I use both ...... well ....... I use PB Blaster and the hot wrench in place of WD40...... I keep the WD40 in my tackle box ..... makes excellent fish bait.

Duct tape isnt even good for ducts.

To provide lab data about which sealants and tapes last, and which are likely to fail, research was conducted at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Environmental Energy Technologies Division. Their major conclusion was that one should not use duct tape to seal ducts (specialty tapes are available for this purpose). (They defined duct tape as any fabric-based tape with rubber adhesive.) The testing done shows that under challenging but realistic conditions, duct tapes become brittle and may fail.[6] Commonly duct tape carries no safety certifications such as UL or Proposition 65, which means the tape may burn violently, producing toxic smoke; it may cause ingestion and contact toxicity; it can have irregular mechanical strength; and its adhesive may have low life expectancy. Its use in ducts has been prohibited by the state of California[7] and by building codes in most other places in the U.S. However, metalized and aluminum tapes used by professionals are still often called "duck/duct tapes".

It does make a good fire starter though. A 1" square 5 layers thick will burn for almost 10 minutes and is not hard to get burning.

WD40 is pretty flammable too. Back before PB blaster was heard of in my area I was using it to lube drill bits while I removed a damaged freeze plug. Shot a squirt on the plug and it burst into flame all by itself.
