Didn't catch the whole thread here- forgive me if I am a bit off
topic-

The guy that put my furnace in, at the old house, also did a good bit
of duct work. As he was cleaning up, he took great pains to show me
how his joints were so tight he didn't need duct tape. Never used a
bit of it. He did, however, seal some seams with RTV silicone.

The guy at the local sheet metal shop said duct tape is good for
everything except ducts.

This is true. Even Mike Holmes ( Holmes on Homes) says this often
enough in his program.

When I learned that I replaced all the duct tape holding my dryer
ductwork together with the necessary metal tape.
