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.

I have bought this brand before. I love it. It is strong. I had a recent car accident and I had to use it to keep my bumper in place until I can get it repaired. It works through 70 mph highway speeds to keep my bumper from peeling off my car and it matches my car.

I recently purchased the Duck Brand White Color Duct Tape from this seller, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed not only with the product but also with the seller's exceptional service. Upon receiving my order, I noticed they had only sent one roll instead of the two I had ordered. However, after contacting the seller, they promptly rectified the mistake by sending the missing roll via express courier at no additional cost. The communication throughout was top-notch, and the seller's willingness to go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction truly sets them apart. I highly recommend both the product and this seller for their outstanding service. A big thumbs up!

I had a slight leak in one of my gutters and wanted the tape to match the color well enough that it didn't look terrible. Looks fine and has not leaked yet.

Love the white color, as I used it to make a 'window' frame on a foam board to appear as a faux window from the exterior of the house. The last time I used this, the tape lasted about 4 years before needing to get replaced. That is exterior -out in the weather... sun, humidity, and below freezing... for 4 years.For my application, the tape needed to be cut down in width, but using a XL cutting board, the tape could be cut with a knife blade and straight edge without the tape sticking and making a mess of things.I use almost the whole roll, but it looks realistic to me. (Until we ever replace the old window underneath the foam board someday.... there is white Duck tape and some paint! 😉 )
