This is Turtle.

So you the one that is not duct taping the flex joints after you put the plastic bands on them. if you bump the metal starting collar at joints just a little it will fall off but if tapped after the plastic strap is used. It will never come off. i sure wish these Rookies would learn !

TURTLE

Umm..and if you butter the take off before, and mastic the outer lip when done..its forever too and looks much neater.... Like I said...the pros aint using tape anymore on ducts...Turtle still is.

I had a roll of duct tape that dried on the roll. It was near impossible to get it off the roll, then it would delaminate. I finally trashed it.
