# What?
Duck tape was the original waterproof tape.

Duct tape is a generic term from duck tape.

Silglass is the daddy.

# Hoover/Vacuum cleaner?
My Step mum used to work in a vacs spares place and someone came in asking for hoover bags. She asked what type of Hoover it was and got the reply, "I think it's an Electrolux of some kind"

Stupid people.

# Duck tape is a very old brand of waterproof tape.
Duct tape is just tape for taping ducts.

Silglass is a really sticky mastic based stuff which is the daddy.

# ashally
all the damage i've seen is caused by stupid people letting go of the remote. wrist strap or not, if it doesn't leave your hand it's not going to damage anything. unless you hit something with your fist.

though in all the damage i've seen, the remote has always stayed remarkably intact. if it's more durable than a 42" telly they must be doing something right!
