For a long time the local DRMO had "scrap irony"

The quintessential "duck tape" has always grated on my ears...
I think someone in the UK or Europe saw an opportunity there and we in
the UK can buy "Duck" brand tape in many local DIY shops
http://www.duckbrand.com/ , actually looking at the contact info they're
US based http://www.duckbrand.com/Info/Contact.aspx . I always thought
it was duct tape for sealing duct joints or a similar application but
not really sure , some info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape


For hvac ductwork what you want is aluminum foil tape in 4 mil thickness and to pass inspection it'll probably also need approval / listing under UL 181A-P or UL 181B-FX
