If you are not a criminal (and I am sure you are not otherwise you would be busy planning a crime and not reading this humble blog), what sort of uses do you think you can put a simple adhesive tape to? Well you might say packing a cardboard box etc. Actually even criminals use it for packing and this reading is surely for you if you want to know the relation between crime and adhesive tape.

If you are a criminal, after reading this website, you'll know to stay away from the duct tape! In fact, you should actually learn that it is best to stay away from crime all together!

Duct Tape Pocket Protector

You can hear John talk about the pocket protectors he makes out of duct tape and sells. Does he really sell them? I have no idea, but you can email him and find out.

Just another example of the endless (legal) possibilities of things you can do with duct tape.

How Duct Tape Is Made

Here is a youtube video where an employee of 3M in Canada takes us on a tour of the 3M plant there and shows us how duct tape is make. Remember, its not Duck Tape, unless your a quack!

The biggest duct tape factory is in London, Ontario.

First, learn about all the ingredients you need to make duct tape. Rubber from the far east and resin from Texas, and Calcium Carbonate from Ontario and a few other tid bits.

The machine that makes the duct tape is pretty big and probably a bit beyond what you can do in your basement or living room... so I suspect your better off going to the office supply store to get your duct tape.. and not trying to make it at home!

Remember, never use duct tape (or Duck tape) for any criminal activites).
