    It's not "duct" tape. The original name brand is Duck Tape (that whole waterproof thing), and regardless of brand it's horribly unsafe for use on ductwork for heaters and especially for dryers. The stuff melts, which is a bit of a fire hazard, and the adhesive dries out, which makes it very ineffective at sealing air leaks. Ductwork requires the use of a special metal tape which, you know, can't burn.

    @silverdee:
    If your ducts are on fire, there's a fairly good chance that it's because you _didn't_ use fireproof tape. Either that or you haven't learned how to properly clean and replace the lint trap on your dryer.

    Would I play MW2 for 24 hours straight twice in a 2.5 day stretch?
