The History of Duck Tape
Duct tape has adhered itself so well to American culture that it's become much more than a roll of tape. It's an enduring symbol of all in this world that is functional.
So how did this sticky wonder come about? It was World War II and there was a need for a strong, flexible, durable, waterproof tape that could seal canisters, repair cracked windows, repair trucks, and help the war effort in general. Permacell, a division of the Johnson and Johnson Company, stepped up to this challenge. Using medical tape as a base, they applied two new technologies. Polycoat adhesives gave the tape its unshakable stick and polyethylene coating allowed them to laminate the tape to a cloth backing, making it extremely strong and flexible. The resulting tape was nicknamed "Duck Tape" for its ability to repel water, while ripping easily into strips for fast convenient use.
After the war the tape was put to the more civilian use of holding ducts together. So the product changed from a nameless army green tape to the familiar gray duct tape.
Thirty years later, Jack Kahl, former CEO of Manco, Inc., changed the name of the product to Duck Tape and put ‘Manco T. Duck’ on the Duck Tape logo, giving personality to a commodity product. Manco, Inc. also began to shrink-wrap and label the product, making it easier to stack for retailers, and easier to distinguish different grades for customers.
Now, over 50 years after its invention, Duck tape is sold in more than 20 colors and is touted by its followers for having a nearly endless amount of uses. What will happen to Duck Tape? What advancements in Duck Tape technology will be made? Only time will tell.
Preparing Surfaces to Use Duck Tape
When using Duck Tape, whether the traditional silver or one of the rainbow of Duck color tapes, all surfaces should be clean and free of dust or dirt before placing any tape on them. You will want to dust the surface and then wipe the area down with rubbing alcohol. However, rubbing alcohol can dull certain surfaces, so try it on a small, inconspicuous area before applying on a large scale.

This review is from: Duck Brand 392875 1.88-Inch-by-20-Yard Colored Duck Brand Tape, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)
I used this in conjunction with a Kleer-Drain, which uses compressed air to destroy clogs: I needed to seal up my sink's overflow outlet air-tight. I wasn't sure that any ordinary tape would be up to the task. This stuff was. It stayed on even when I fired the air cartridge, and yet it was easy to peel off. I highly recommend it.

This is great name brand Duck Tape, but this is not the cheapest way to get it. You will save a lot at your local Wal-Mart.

Hi visibility fixes,

This review is from: Duck Brand 1265019 1.88-Inch by 15-Yard Colored Duck Tape, Blaze Orange (Tools & Home Improvement)
I use high-visibility orange duct tape to mark things that need attention in the data center. No one can miss this tape, and it doesn't slide off, even when attached to cables pulled under the raised floor.As a Florida Gator, it's also good for marking blue ethernet cables in the FSU data center, just to let them know we were there.
