GORILLA GLUE: Duct Tape

New Gorilla Tape is 2 to 3 times thicker than conventional duct tape and packs significantly more of what makes tape work: adhesive. With 17 mils of thick, aggressive adhesive, this product offers a sticky grip that quickly adheres to surfaces that other tapes won't stick to, especially porous surfaces like brick and stucco. Gorilla Tape also features a touch all-weather shell that allows it to remain resilient in extreme weather and under harsh UV rays. And its reinforced backing uses a much higher thread count than the current industry standard, which allows for significantly enhanced flexibility and durability.
