Not so confusing now, as apparently there's a manufacturer of the stuff
with "Duck" in its name, putting out a product called
"'Duck Tape' brand of duct tape." Obviously in their interest to have
folks call it "Duck", but I've not run across this brand ever, but it
explains a whole lot.

Duck tape and duct tape are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!!!!

Duck tape is made from cloth and is a REALLY bad choice for using on ducts.
It was designed originally to repair tarps and withstand the weather.

Duct tape is made from metal foil and is designed for use on metal ductwork.
