Well, the OP did just just join us relatively recently, so he may be green enough to asking that seriously.

I've had people ask me that while waiting to load or unload. I always tell them no but they want to try it anyway. They watch too many Duct Tape commercials.
I have trouble with people who ask a question because they truly don't know the answer and then argue with the information I give them.
One guy did that, said duct tape would fix an airline 'cause his daddy told him so, and he wanted to borrow my roll of duct tape too. He had on a short sleeve short and he had really hairy arms. Hairy like gorilla hairy. I told him to pull off a foot of tape and wrap it real tight on his arm and not to take it off until he was ready to put it on the air line. He did.
I loaded next so I don't know how it turned out for him. Maybe he learned something. Probably not.JoeyJunk Thanks this. -

I've had hydrovac operators swear up and down that duct tape would seal up a 3000 PSI hot water hose. Yeah, no. It doesn't.Brettj3876, JoeyJunk, BlueDuck1883 and 1 other person Thank this. -

Speaking from experience. -
The MD State Trooper in question and I happen to have a bit of a history though. He targets LTLs specifically, and it so happened he saw me coming wearing “Dangerous” placards and probably sported wood. When the prick couldn’t find a hazmat violation he went to the “chafed air line” card, which you could probably write up 90% of the trucks on the road for.JoeyJunk and BlueDuck1883 Thank this. -
Rescue Tape is sold at many truck stops... Properly applied, it will hold hundreds of PSI. It works as advertised, I've used it successfully.
STILL A TEMPORARY FIX, however.kemosabi49 Thanks this. -
