The History of Duck Tape
Duct tape has adhered itself so well to American culture that it's become much more than a roll of tape. It's an enduring symbol of all in this world that is functional.
So how did this sticky wonder come about? It was World War II and there was a need for a strong, flexible, durable, waterproof tape that could seal canisters, repair cracked windows, repair trucks, and help the war effort in general. Permacell, a division of the Johnson and Johnson Company, stepped up to this challenge. Using medical tape as a base, they applied two new technologies. Polycoat adhesives gave the tape its unshakable stick and polyethylene coating allowed them to laminate the tape to a cloth backing, making it extremely strong and flexible. The resulting tape was nicknamed "Duck Tape" for its ability to repel water, while ripping easily into strips for fast convenient use.
After the war the tape was put to the more civilian use of holding ducts together. So the product changed from a nameless army green tape to the familiar gray duct tape.
Thirty years later, Jack Kahl, former CEO of Manco, Inc., changed the name of the product to Duck Tape and put ‘Manco T. Duck’ on the Duck Tape logo, giving personality to a commodity product. Manco, Inc. also began to shrink-wrap and label the product, making it easier to stack for retailers, and easier to distinguish different grades for customers.
Now, over 50 years after its invention, Duck tape is sold in more than 20 colors and is touted by its followers for having a nearly endless amount of uses. What will happen to Duck Tape? What advancements in Duck Tape technology will be made? Only time will tell.
Preparing Surfaces to Use Duck Tape
When using Duck Tape, whether the traditional silver or one of the rainbow of Duck color tapes, all surfaces should be clean and free of dust or dirt before placing any tape on them. You will want to dust the surface and then wipe the area down with rubbing alcohol. However, rubbing alcohol can dull certain surfaces, so try it on a small, inconspicuous area before applying on a large scale.
How to Make a Duck Tape® Candy Corn Treat Bag
Tools you will need:
- Brown paper grocery bag
- Scissors
- Colored Duck® brand duct tape
- Duck® brand Reflective Tape
1. Open your brown paper bag and cut down one of the vertical seams.
2.
Cut the bottom off of the bag and lay the bag out horizontally on your workspace.3. Take strips of duck tape and lay them onto the grocery bag. Each strip will be about 3’ each.
a. Work your way from top to bottom creating 3 rows of colors: yellow, orange and white.
4. Roll the bag into a cone shape, duct tape side out. To make a smaller bag, roll the cone tightly; for a larger bag, roll the cone loosely.
5. Secure the inner seam of your bag with a strip of duct tape. Then, tape down the outer seam using your colored duct tape--matching the colors as you seal.
a. You may have to trim some off the top or sides to keep the cone shape
6. Close the bottom of the bag by cutting small slits into the end. Fold the small edges over onto each other and secure with a couple small pieces of tape.
7. For the handle, make a double-sided duct tape strip to your desired length. Attach the handle to the inside of the bag using strips of duct tape.
a. To make a double-sided strip: cut two pieces of tape to your desired length and lay one sticky side up, then put the other strip on top of it sticky side down
You can also turn the brown paper bag into a trick-or-treat sack to go along with any costume--scary or cute! Here's how:
1. Trim your bag to the desired shape--leave it as a rectangle, round off the top, or cut off some of the top to make a square.
2. Instead of creating the candy corn look, cover the outside of the brown paper bag with your favorite colors of duct tape.
You can use black and white duct tape to make a checkered flag for a racecar driver; red with yellow polka dots to go along with a clown costume; or an orange bag with black cut-out eyes and mouth and a green handle for a jack-o-lantern.
