Yes Duck Tape, but what gave it the name duck?

It never had that name. It is duct tape for sealing joints in ducting. But duck tape is a nicer name.

I thought it was linked to cotton duck....

How did Duck Tape, (sometimes known as Duct Tape,) get its name?

There was brand of tape called Duck Tape, and at the same time, people were starting to use tape to seal ducts, and somehow Duck Tape became the preferred brand of duct tape.

Yes Duck Tape, but what gave it the name duck?

OK, I've looked this up now, and am standing by, ready to argue with the QM.....

Since a couple of other people are re-visiting this....

My understanding is, yes, the original tape was 'duck' cotton fabric, coated with glue; hence 'duck tape'.
And this tape became popular for sealing ducts, so it gradually became known as 'duct tape' instead.
BUT, a company registered a brand name for their 'duct tape' as 'Duck Tape' in 1983.

SO, 'Duck Tape' got its name when Manco Tape Inc registered it in 1983, but 'duck tape' got its name from 'cotton duck' material.
