I need to get some twine or something to hold the straps together in the center.

I think that may be the perfect solution and probably the least expensive.

Thanks for the suggestion, Oz.

No, the straps are not stitched together where they cross under the carboy. I have two and neither of them are stitched together where they cross. I understand the vertical straps need to be able to move on the horizontal straps due to different carboy diameters.

Interesting I have some of these are are 4-5 years old and they all are stitched together at the bottom...

I cant remember exactly when I bought them, but I am sure that they are less than 3 years old.

I haven't looked at them in years, but I can't imagine they're not stitching them anymore. I'm guessing you happened to get some that slipped by QC or something.

It's a good temporary fix anyhow. I was only half serious. If you don't leave it on the carboy in the fridge, it'll work for quite a while.

The funny thing about duct tape, there's one thing that it's not good for at all... ducts. The adhesive doesn't do well with repeated temp swings. In all honesty, I'd just stitch them up when you get a chance.

I never really thought about it too much before, but I hope you're right, Oz. I've never broken a carboy before either. It will be a mistake I certainly will never repeat. (At least the same way )

Well there goes your chance to lock down the "Fallen Soldier" award for 2014... missed opportunities and whatnot...
