I'm curious what captain smartass calls it. He's probably googling right now though.

This tape, colored in army-standard matte olive drab, was nicknamed "duck tape" by the soldiers.[18] Various theories have been put forward for the nickname, including the descendant relation to cotton duck fabric, the waterproof characteristics of a duck bird, and even the 1942 amphibious military vehicle DUKW which was pronounced "duck".[19]
did you not read this from during the war?

I wasn't calling you a smartass (although you may be one just like I am). I wanted to know what the defender of duct tape called it.

Right which became its name.
I enjoy your stubbornness in a lot of threads but sometimes you just have to admit you are wrong, this is one you should.

you are wrong too.Posted on 10/9/14 at 12:20 pm to CarRamrod
why just this time? because you think you're right?
which then because duct tape because of its new use and the less frequent use of the term duck tape, leading the company to trademark the name. the duck tape brand of duct tape is one brand of duct tape.

Gotcha, didn't think of the "captain" part.

I've heard it called thread sealer too, totally leaving off the tape part.
Btw I still haven't gotten a pic of the light bar.
