duct-tape
Sticky repair strip
Duct tape is a strong adhesive tape with a fabric mesh backing, originally designed for sealing ductwork but now used for countless repairs and improvised fixes.
As a verb, to duct-tape is to secure or repair with this tape: I duct-taped the bumper back on.
The term suggests quick, makeshift solutions rather than proper repairs.
