Uses for duct tape

[flippinout]

We use duct tape on many things and keep a good supply on hand.

Duct tape got it's name when do-it-yourself repair people found out how well it worked for sealing off ducts in the home. The original name, "Duck Tape", came from WWII in 1942.


When cases of ammunition were ruined by rain and humidity, the U.S. government asked their supplier if they would give them something they could use to protect their provisions. The supplier sent them a green waterproof tape that the army nick named "duck tape"because water rolled off of it as easily as water off a duck's back. The military found countless uses for the product while stationed overseas and new uses mounted once they returned home.
