What's the name of that tube that goes from a dryer to the exit duct?
Anyway, our cat has clawed through it. Can I duct tape it or will the heat
melt the tape?
Thanks again
: -)

They are not very expensive. Personally I would just buy a new one.

It would get clawed through too. I'm thinking the duct tape will be more
resilient.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

The heat will melt it. Get the special aluminum (?) tape designed for this
purpose, it can handle the heat.
