How was duct tape invented?
Duct tape was developed during World War II to meet the need for a repair tape that was durable, waterproof and strong. After the war, the nameless, military green tape came to the United States and was used to hold together duct work. It was called, appropriately enough, “duct tape” and soon became the silver color were familiar with. Things changed during the 1970s, when the partners at Manco, Inc. placed rolls of duct tape in shrink wrap, making it easier for retailers to stack the sticky rolls. Different grades and colors of duct tape werent far behind. Soon, duct tape became the most versatile tool in the household.
