Don't use duct tape, use the special aluminum skinned tape made for

That IS duct tape.


Duct take is NOT made for that use. The right take will cost more and
will have a peel off paper over the adhesive.

You are getting duct and "duc" tape mixed up. The grey cloth stuff is
"duc" tape and not used on ducts.


I'd be interested in seeing a source for that information.


Typically foil tape is used on ducts. That cloth "duck tape" is just a
"economy" product sold for some reason (maybe to have a cheep product
for the big box stores).

?? "Duck Tape" is Henkel's (parent company of Lepages and Loctite among
others) brand name for their industrial tape products. 3M also makes a
range of fabric tapes as do others. It's sold because (a) it meets various
specifications and (b) because it is very useful stuff to have around.
