Is the Gorilla duct tape as good as it claims?


I went to HD awhile back looking for some duct tape. *The woman took me to
the paint department, and tried to sell me the gorilla tape. *Had a way of
enthusiatically talking about the product.


I found my way to the HVAC area and bought a bigger roll of Nashua brand for
less money. *My usage of duct tape doesn't require anything beyond that.


If it did, I wouldn't be using duct tape.

Gorilla tape IS better. Much better. It has a real cloth structure,
and vastly superior adhesive.


I would have to agree. I bought my first roll of it a few weeks back
and have been very impressed with its holding capability. It is far
superior to standard duct tape and seems to adhere to anything with
equal tenacity. I won't be going back to the old brands any more.


You DO know, yes?, that the ONE thing that you should NEVER
use duct-tape for is -- you guessed it! -- DUCTS!

Years ago (20?) long first-page article on just that.
