Duct Tape is an extremely strong tape that is actually composed of three layers:

Layer 1: A Resilient Plastic

Layer 2: A Fabric Mesh

Layer 3: Rubber Based Adhesive

Duct tape is manufactured by pressing the three layers together. "Now, some manufacturers have created a process that makes the same strong, three layer tape in just one step. While there are stronger tapes (like filament tape), duct tape, when doubled over onto itself can pull a 2000 lb. car out of a ditch, and has the distinct benefit of not requiring any other tools to cut it - you just rip it with your bare hands." These words come from the Duct Tape Guys, who spend all of their lives (for the most part) writing books about duct tape, managing their duct tape website, and using duct tape. Did you know that in California, in order for it to be called "duct tape", the tape must meet a certain heat resistance standards. This is because people assume that people will want to use it on ductwork. However, duct tape has many other uses. I, for instance, make things out of colored duct tape such as wallets and picture frames.
