OK, for all you duct tapers out there - who always have a trusty length of 
duct tape in your boat...it is new and improved:

3M just introduced a CLEAR duct tape (except for the fabric reinforcement 
threads) - not quite as obvious as the old silver material - might be a 
disadvantage as no one will ask about that patch on your boat....not 
allowing you to weave a tall tale of harrowing life-threatening situations 
(or just how you dropped your boat in the parking lot)...

But seriously, two other advantages for paddlers:
1) you can peel it apart if it sticks to itself
2) UV resistant - last 6 times longer in sunlight than the old standard

I'm not associated with 3M in any way...
