I watch a lot of the History Guy's channel.
He's like the History teacher you WISH you had in High School or college.

We used to use it in USN damage control school to stop leak in high pressure air system, amazing what a few wraps will do!

Those of you old enough, with farm background, know part of it's success was due to the loss of bailing wire!!!!!

100mph tape.. well 160mph tape in my case... used it more than once to patch the body of the drag car when a fastener failed... Taped the hood on for one run!

Many cars are put together with automotive tape now. I keep a roll of aircraft tape in the camper for emergencies.

Most informative. More information than I knew...or wanted to know. That it "works" for the applications in which I use it, is sufficient for me. Heat and the "duct tape" adhesive are incompatible. Duct tape adhesive breaks down over time and the "duck" backing does not "weather" well. Moisture, and shrink/swell from dynamic heating and cooling (dawn to dawn), are the bane of duck tape.

I have also used it to shim a few things that needed tightening.

The helicopter crew chief's basic field repair kit: '200 knot' tape, .030 safety wire, and a good pair of pliers.

This made me remember Red Green completely restoring a lawn chair with duct tape.[emoji1787]
