You probably already know how tough Gorilla Glue is. Now that toughness has been incorporated into a tape.
Gorilla Tape is made for the kinds of heavy-duty jobs that duct tape is usually used for, but it's designed to stick better in the long run. The adhesive is made to stick to metal as well as rough or porous surfaces including wood, stucco, plaster and brick.
The tape is thicker than conventional duct tape, weather-resistant and reinforced by a fiber webbing that can still be ripped by hand.
Gorilla Tape sells for about $9.99 for a 35-yard roll. It's available at various hardware stores.
Grinding options
Ideal for metal finishing, an angle grinder is a little known but useful tool for woodworkers and other do-it-yourselfers as well.
It can be used for cleaning up pitted or rusted metal surfaces, it can smooth out welded seams and, when properly equipped, cut metal.
Taking measure
Measure for an entry door by measuring the width between the side jambs and the head jamb to the sill under the old threshold. Also measure the thickness of the door jamb.
The rough opening should be at least one inch wider and taller than the outside frame dimensions of the door to be installed.
Natural touch
Pay homage to natural style by filling your home with elements found in nature.
Natural surfaces, such as wood floors, stained (not painted) cabinets and stone counters, are musts.
A color palette derived from nature also creates the feeling of the great outdoors from inside a room.
Earth-inspired textures that fit this style include natural-weave baskets, hand-hammered metals and woven fabrics such as cotton, linen and wool.
