True or false: Of all the things you can use Duct Tape for one of them
Isn't For Duct Sealing.
I am surprised no one picked up on this one, but it
is actually True! One of the few things
that duct tape isn't good for is
sealing ducts! The reason being is that In a relatively short time,
common duct tape dries out
and comes loose. Look for foil tape with a peel-off backing if you
choose to tape your duct joints. Better yet, use duct mastic. Apply
mastic anywhere two pieces of duct come together to form a lasting
seal.
Here are some interesting sites that explain this in more detail check
