re: Dust collection connections

BTW, my tape of choice when I have to rig up something like that is no residue duct tape or gaffers tape.  It is  more expensive than regular duct tape, but it peels off more easily and does not leave behind a ton of glue.  I used to find the 3M tape at my local Home Depot but they stopped stocking it for some reason so I got it from Amazon the last couple of times.    Gaffer's tape is similar but often even more expensive.  There are some cheaper ones out there if you search hard enough but you have to read the reviews to make sure that they are not junk.  The 3M tape is fantastic.     I almost never use regular duct tape anymore.
