This stuff is amazing and has saved my bacon a number of times. I've used it for fixing all manner of things--from its intended purpose of holding a muffler together until I reached the next town, to administering first aid to a dog that was bitten by a brown snake as a compression bandage. Here in Oz, four large rolls of the 5cm thick stuff costs $10 and I wouldn't dream of going out anywhere without it now.

Just about any hardware store or automotive parts outlet.

This would have come in really handy on a road trip I was party to in Wyoming... We hit a rock in the Volvo on a dirt 4x4 road looking for a spring (rumored to have the best-tasting water this side of the mississippi)... Wound up Macgyvering something together with duck tape and a foam sleeping pad. It lasted to the next town, but just barely.
