The answer is no, but after reading the post about someone sticking thier fingernail back on with tape to get back out in the water, and given the wide range of experience and intellectual ability cruising this forum, i thought there would have to be a few cracker home repair jobs involving gaffer tape, boards/bodies/cars/girlfriends etc.
I busted a finger during footy last year, couldnt straighten it so i made a splint with a metal ruler and gaffer tape, slept on it overnight and hey presto it was straight again, but unfortunately i couldnt bend it. went to docs a year later (took my time admittedly) and he said " yes its fractured and you what???if u came in when u did it it'd be fixed, but its fked now, well done" i still cant hold a bloody fork properly..idiot
surely theres more worthy ones out there??
I don't always travel with a tool kit or a pocket knife but I never travel anywhere without Nashua Gaffa tape. 
Take it off the roll and flat wrap it around a piece of cardboard the size of a playing card. You can get a fair bit stashed in your bag with bugger all bulk that way.
Gaffa fixes everything. 
I split me face open once surfing trying an air and landing on the fins. I thought it was ok because I touched it and there was no blood. By the time I got out the back again my mate looked at me, went a bit white and said "dude what the **** happened to your face?" haha. So I paddled in and by then it was bleeding everywhere, so I went to the surf club and they tried to butterfly clip it, but all the blood just made them fall off... So they told me I had to go to the doctor... I had no money and was in a place that I didnt even know where the doctor was, so like any good man I grabbed some gaffer tape and toilet paper and taped up my head. Worked a treat, however eventually some people made me go to the doctor, pretty sweet the dude was cool about it and did it for free. Story over.
Gaffer tape fixes holes in a blow up doll fairly well,
but after a few repairs she can start to look a bit like a trashie crack whore.
did I just think that or type it
Duct tape and Gaffa are 2 diff things.
Duct is just uber elect tape. Gaffa is the supa-tuff stuff and Nashua will rip the skin offya lips - if your dumb enough to tear it wiv ya teef. (only made that mistake once
)
Keaw - thought the lack of weight and bulk was self explanatory
Less weight - less bulk.. best fix everything around.

Went to a musician clinic when I was young, and the guy introduced gaffa and said it'll stick anything to a wall. When he peeled it off the wall, the paint came with it.
It's good stuff. I like gaffa.

Myeh.. some of these are confusing duct and gaffa - but it seems most equate them as the same.
And like I said - careful when ripping it orf - it can rip ya lips orf!
