 | | Duct tape, originally known as duck tape, is a strong, fabric-based, multi-purpose adhesive tape, usually silver or fl in color, although many other colors, including transparent, have recently become available. |
 | | NASA engineers' faith in duct tape as an emergency tool was rewarded in 1970, when the square carbon dioxide filters from Apollo 13's failed command module had to be modified to fit round receptacles in the lunar module, which was being used as a lifeboat after an explosion in route to the moon. |
 | | Duct tape is also sometimes used by musicians and on film sets and in theatres, although a more specialised product, commonly known as gaffer tape in entertainment circles, is preferred as it does not leave a sticky residue when removed and is more easily torn into thin strips for precise application. |
