$150 Duct Tape

This was a killer price for this much Duct Tape (about half of what it would be anywhere else):

(A very helpful Costcoer that saved the day for the 2nd Annual CHS Cardboard Canoe Challenge)

I had been to the Costco on Morena with no luck on finding tape. I followed up at the Business Costco in Kearny Mesa to find this good price. It's important to me to be a good steward of our Engineering Lab Donation fund.

I nearly missed the tape in the Kearny Mesa store and have a good story regarding the importance of communication and an outgoing demeanor for anyone that's interested in hearing it.

? - Why is Duct Tape called "Duct Tape"? What is the purpose for which the tape is named?

It is called "Duct Tape" because it is used to close ducts in which fluid, air, or other substances pass through. This tape is highly water resistant and strong so it does its job well at sealing air/fluid/electricity ducts.

  1. Great point about it's water resistance, I hadn't thought about that specificaly in relation to duct work (although clearly important to our cardboard canoes!)
