I can vouch for Gorilla tape being absolutely amazing. The plastic bumper on my car had been badly cracked for a couple years from whacking a deer, and it finally broke loose and hung down at the end. These darned bumpers are expensive, it turns out! So I figured until I find a used one in the same color, I'll try this Gorilla tape I've heard good things about.

I taped the bumper back together, and it held together just fine. For over two years and thirty thousand miles, in fact, including two Northern winters! It not only held together perfectly, but never dried out or got crispy or frayed. It was still hanging in there just fine when we finally parted with the car.

The best part was, the car was black, and you almost couldn't see the tape.

Having said all this, I, too, would like to know the best type of standard silver duct tape, for when the Gorilla is just a bit too much.
