I have some Gorilla Glue, but haven’t tried it yet. It will be used in s critical spot on a guitar restoration. Is it no good?
I get my nice Duck Tape here;

Wouldn’t use it on ducts though! I like the aluminum foil stuff for duct work. I don’t know if it performs better, but it sure looks better, much more professional. Looks like Stainless Steel.
Long before flexible plastics, tape was constructed by smearing adhesive on fabric. A very good fabric that was used was “duck” — a canvas used for tents, sails and clothing (see dictionary.com). Though I used the word in that sense commonly in my youth while camping, I have seldom seen it in print since. Nevertheless, that is the origin of “duck tape” and has nothing to do with the current company that has stolen the name, and this is why I have always called it duck tape.
I generally prefer “Gaff” tape available at photo
supply houses, used for taping down cables and wiring
on a shoot. Much more adhesive than duct tape, costs
more but doesn’t delaminate like duct tape over time.
