Duct Tape Child Care
Keith Holbrook, an ex-child care worker, found Duct Tape ideal for constraining difficult children. Apparently the state of Pennsylvania thinks otherwise. I found a teacher's forum where a teacher at the daycare found out about this and was asking her peers if she should report it to the state. She says, "My friend is one of the directors and I know she would be so mad if it were reported but I think if they cover it up it makes it 10 times worse!" Well, it was reported, and now you are forever imortalized on Duct Tape News.

Duct Tape Robbery, Duct-taped now a verb
By now it is not surprising to see that duct tape was used to constrain a victim in a robbery. What is exciting is that the reporter got away with using "duct-taped" as a verb. You've always been able to tape something, but now you can specifically duct-tape something, proof that duct tape is in a league of its own.

Sumo Tape vs. Duct Tape
Henkel, the makers of Duck brand duct tape has introduced Sumo Tape, a "heavyweight" cousin of regular duct tape. What does this mean for our old favorite?
Is Sumo Tape better than duct tape? In an official press release, Henkel says, "Three layers give Loctite Sumo Tape its power. A super thick polyethylene film gives the tape its water resistnace. . .an expertly stiched fiber layer give the tape strength. . . a third layer of thick adhesive gives the tape its powerful grab." Duct tape is a cloth backing, a polycoating, and adhesive. So Sumo Tape is duct tape--just thicker, stronger, and stickier than run of the mill duct tape. But it is nothing new. Tape companies have been producing stronger, thicker, stickier duct tape for years for an industrial applications. Do people buy it? Sometimes, but for most applications it is not worth the extra money for the extra strength because usually, standard duct tape is strong enough.
