Duct Tape
-
For an article written with California on it, I can't believe they blundered when they equated "duct tape" with "gaffer tape". The two are most definitely different. Gaffer tape uses a less sticky/gooey adhesive and can be torn quite easily. Am I the only male who doesn't like duct tape? Cleaning off the goo when its removed is just too annoying.

I'm with you gaffer tape is the real deal.

Duct tape is like 'The Force'... It's got a light side and a dark side, and it binds the universe together.

I wonder what grade 200mph tape is. That's the stuff used by NASCAR.
"Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit..." "There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."
IIRC the military version of 200MPH tape is metal backed instead of cloth/plastic.

That's not usually the male's complaint... Duct tape is one of the basic elements of the universe, and it's often our best defense against unrestrained entropy. :-D

WD-40 cleans the goo very handily - hence the need for wd-40

Cheap aftershave does the trick too.

In my experience in pro sound and on stages, gaffers tape is not less sticky and gooey and in fact quite the opposite sticks better than duct tape. It is however designed to be easy to tear, to stick famously to just about anything and everything and yet - like the blue masking tape - not leave a lot of (hardly any) residue behind when removed.

That's what I meant by gooey. (I've used gaffer's tape many times as actual gaffer's tape--that and form core can be quite useful.)

The nuclear product says; Polyken 226 also has superior tack and adheres tightly to many surfaces. It has multiple uses in power plants and ships. Somehow in my minds eye, I imagine the engineer on a carrier tapping a hole in the reactor vessel with this tape. Of course that would be ridiculous.:suss:

Ah, see... you don't remove it. When it starts to wear, you just put fresh duct tape over the top... :-\
