I don't see a drip hanging on to the bottom of this concoction Richard Weeks nor a bucket underneath it so I'd give it a 100% rating.

The replaement part is cheaper than the amount of duct tape used here. And, likely less labor intensive.

I am looking forward to hearing from Lyn Sims .  Her duct tape expertise is precious to all of us...as an amateur I would give this a 6, because of the wrinkles and the lack of alignment of the seams...A

I am honored to call a dearly departed friend the "Master of Duck Tape". Whether you say Duck or Duct is of no consequence. We know what you mean! My friend was never without his two rolls as long as he was alive, a 50 yarder and a commercial 300 yard one both always in classic silver. Compared to his artistic and professional flair this attempt gets a zero rating. RIP Brendan!

I see a gap or two and the end is not completely secured.  Lyn is a lenient judge.  I give it an 8 for duct tape job.  I'd give it a 0 for fixing the problem.

The art of when duct tape works several duties- here we see it acting as insulation for those noisy waste pipes, keeping the new puppy busy teething and keeping the cabinet dry

Oh wow! That seriously looks like they just took a pool noodle, attached it to both ends as you would an actual pipe, and then duct taped it so it was more water tight. Who needs pipes under the sink anyway?
