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.



The original product was called 'Duct tape', and while it was great for
many uses, with a metalized cloth backing, and a rather thick adhesive,
it was tested on actual ductwork, and found severely lacking for this
use because the adhesive becomes hard when exposed to heat, and the tape
turns loose. However, it has MANY other great uses, and the astronauts
on Apollo 13 wouldn't have survived had they not had it along.
It can be a valuable asset around the house, as long as you don't try to
use it on heating ducts.

The product known as 'Duck tape' is simply a cheap knock-off of the
original product, and is, in my experience, vastly inferior.

Crikey, Ron, can you not freakin' read?

all of this has been covered. days ago.
