Duct Tape: it has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together. There are many popular sayings about this handy adhesive. It can be used to hold just about anything together, and a biker on the road should always have a handy roll in the saddlebag just in case something goes wrong. One of the best Biker Patches has another great duct tape saying: Duct Tape! Turning 'No, No, NO' into 'Mmm, mmm, mmm' since 1942. The Duct Tape Since 1942 Patch is perfect for anyone who has ever made emergency repairs using duct tape.
Chances are, everyone has used duct tape at some point in their lives. But what exactly is it? Duct tape is actually a cloth-backed tape sealed with polyethylene. It's usually silver, although many different colors of duct tape have been produced in recent years. The product was developed in 1942 by Revolite. One of its earliest uses was to seal ammunition cases during World War II because the tape is water resistant. However, military personnel quickly realized it could be used to make just about any type of quick repair.
One thing to note is that while it's called duct tape, it shouldn't actually be used to fix ducts! Instead, there are special tapes for sealing heating and ventilation ducts. There have actually been tests done comparing duct tape to other types of adhesives for use in the heating and air industry, and the results show that duct tape may become brittle or actually catch on fire. In some areas of the U.S., building codes prevent the use of duct tape in heating and air ducts.
Of course, that doesn't prevent people from using duct tape just about everywhere else! Turn that 'oh no!' into 'mmm, yes!' with this product, then advertise your ingenuity with the duct tape patch.
