The ultimate handymans’ tool – Duct Tape. But what do you do when even Duct Tape fails? Well, you put on more Duct Tape. And not just any Duct Tape, but Nuclear Grade Duct Tape.

3M has come out with this Nuclear Grade miracle. This 0.33mm thick tape will hold 36 lbs. per inch. It will also stand up to temperatures of 200 degrees F. Isn’t a Nuclear explosion hotter than that? I believe we get into 10 million on the Kelvin scale.

The tape is also UL723, HUD and BOCA compliant. And before you start substituting hamburgers with Duct Tape, this version of BOCA stands for “Building Officials Code Administrators International“. It just means you can use the Duct Tape in construction. No, it doesn’t mean you can substitute all your Nails for Duct Tape, either.

The Backing is Polyethylene film over cloth scrim and the adhesive is Natural and synthetic rubber. You can get 48, 72, and 144mm roll widths in Slate Blue and Red. You can use it for sealing, masking, joining, marking, holding, splicing, protecting, reinforcing, moisture proofing, hanging poly (oh, we won’t go there….), patching and temporary conduit capping.

So go ahead – Duct Tape away!
