Am I wrong?Īnother of my dad’s go-to products was masking tape. But I am so sure that when my dad was using masking tape for his many repair jobs around the Manse, it was made by Tuck Tape. Okay, so these days masking tape has the logo of huge multinational 3M on its inner cardboard roll.

But I digress.) Many were the evenings when Dad would be in the Manse kitchen using contact cement to apply a patch to the inner tube of a car tire or tractor tire or bike tire, and if I close my eyes when I’m in that kitchen now I can not only picture the scene but smell the LePage’s contact cement. (I believe the LePage folks were the same people who brought us those plastic tubes of glue we used in school back then – the ones where the glue always dried up on the rubber tip so you couldn’t get the new glue out. And there were certain products that he relied upon a great deal in the fixing process. Dad spent a lot of time getting broken mower blades welded by his cousin the welder, Elgin Sedgwick, up in Haliburton or getting troubled chainsaws attended to at places like Thompson’s Farm Supply in Campbellford or, very often, fixing things himself. Which meant that the tools and machinery Dad used on the family farm up in Haliburton County, or in the woodlot he might be working in, whether in Haliburton or in the general vicinity of the Manse in Queensborough – or even just to repair an inner tube or the family toaster – were always old and well-worn, and frequently in need of repair.
