It's not often the word revolutionary can be associated with
duct tape, that old, sticky standby used in plumbing repairs,
hockey stick augmentation, and homeland security protection. By
getting the gray out--and avoiding the "sore thumb" look of
typical duct tape repairs--3M's Scotch Transparent Duct Tape can
indeed lay cl to a revolution of the toolbox. But seeing
through it is just the start. This duct tape can be easily torn
by hand, is UV resistant, and, through accelerated weathering
tests, has been shown to last six times longer than its
old-school namesake.
Duct tape has been around since 1942 when the needed a
waterproof tape for sealing ammunition boxes. Originally colored
green, it was referred to as "duck tape" due to its moisture
resistance as well as its cotton duck construction--the same
ribbed cloth used in bandages. After the war, it was adopted by
contractors working in the booming housing industry, where it got
its "duct" name for easily connecting heating and air
conditioning ducts.
History's fine, but what can 3M's new, clear duct tape do for
us? Virtually anything. First, we noticed its powerful
stickiness--the roll itself adheres to just about any surface
when laid on its side. As advertised, the tape was easily torn
from the roll by hand with minimal force. 3M also seems to have
ironed out one of the biggest complaints about duct tape:
s. In our testing, we applied it repeatedly and evenly
without the tape sticking to itself and without creating odd
bumps and creases. And while the tape is rather sticky, it
doesn't go overboard, easily lifting off surfaces when we needed
it to and not leaving the tacky, viscous residue often found with
other duct tapes.
As for its transparency, the tape blended well into just about
any surface we applied it to. It was never "invisible" but did
have the chameleon-like quality of reflecting the surface beneath
it and only calling attention to itself when caught in direct
light. Also, we placed bands of the tape over our computer
monitor before writing this review (don't try this at home,
kids). Peering through the fabric ribs was a nuisance, but we
were able to compose the description you're now reading. How's
that for transparency?
Our only complaint is that, as with most transparent tapes,
finding where to start peeling the roll can be difficult. While
this certainly isn't a showstopper, we did find a solution:
ing the roll onto a tape .
Tape, by its nature, is not a terribly exciting product (or
topic). But 3M's Scotch Transparent Duct Tape is truly a
tipping-point entrant, one that may someday become ubiquitous and
banish gray duct tape to the nether reaches of our tool sheds,
and memories. --Agen G.N. Schmitz
