Quite a lot, especially when enough of it is used to stick a whole engine back up.

guys, calm down…it’s airframe tape. It’s incredible stuff. You put it on, hammer it to release the chemicals, then it bonds stronger than a weld. In the Royal Australian Air Force, the standard joke was:

“Why are our planes painted silver and green?”

“They’re not. They’re painted green. The rest’s tape!”

Haha, peel and stick application.

Actually someone broke my toilet tank cover... I should just tape it back together with this airframe tape. Is anyone selling some for btc?

Also funny:

Handle your toilet's tank with extreme and delicate care as you would with an ornament.

A funny mistake. It is mean to be $139,000 of repairs.

That still means $139 where I live... Only zeros after a radix separator are redundant

Other than colour, airframe tape isn't anything like duct tape or any tape you'd likely ever see.  it's basically sheet aluminum with a high strength epoxy on one side.
