I won a 2nd prize in Gorilla Glue Challenge.
Winners received Gorilla Glue’s products and a Gorilla Glue t-shirt.
Got a nice box of various Gorilla glues and a roll of tape. I’ve been using Gorilla Glue products for years, so it was a excellent prize. Peggy enjoys wearing the Gorilla tee-shirt too.
Today I used the tape and want to share a handy use for them.
My tile KILN needed an element changed . Kiln sits on the concrete floor of my back porch, It is a front loading kiln and sits only 8 inches off the ground. Changing an element involves intalling a 124 inch long 1/2” dia wire coil into a groove in the firebrick walls of the kiln.
I’m 54 years old, less then 6 ft tall and about 250. I knelt on the concrete for about 1/10th of a minute and figured I needed knee pads. Started out the door to Lowes and then remembered the Gorilla Prizes.
Peggy wasn’t home so my imagination ran wild. I dug around the kitchen drawers and found hot pads and oven mitts. Eight of them. Out came the tape. I sat in my chair and stacked the pot holders 4 high and each leg and taped them to my blue jeans. Worked perfect. Best knee pads I’d ever used.
I’ve been using Gorilla Tape for years. It is bar-none the best tape in its class.

I would normally call that flying by the seat of your pants. But I guess that is not the right terminology.
Great review.

Uhmmm, won’t they be missed? You may yet find new uses for Gorilla tape when she finds out how you’ve used her oven mitts and hot pads LOL!

My wife’s hot pads, oven mitts, kitchen towels, and wash clothes have been a staple in my shop for years. Thank God for forgiving women and Fort Dodge tent & Awning. As always, bbqKing.

Very cute Dan. Is that called keeping a finger on the pulse or lending a hand?. Just as well the wife was out or she might have clobbered you with that rolling pin.

As a follow up to this review,
I stopped my Harbor Freight and bought and bought their deluxe brand knee pads for 4.99.
They work good, but the Gorilla-Glue-hot-pad- knee-pads are much more comfortable.
