[ I couldn't find Gorilla tape locally. I did find local retailers on google, but winter roads to bad at the time to drive much. What I found on Amazon was cheaper, even with postage, with Amazons usual prompt delivery. Thank you
A Great Duct Tape for Use-Specific Applications October 10, 2007
kkrome25 (California, USA)

I don't think there is a perfect type of duct tape out there that will do every kind of task for which duct tape was designed for. Gorilla tape is for jobs that require a thicker duct tape; about twice as thick as the regular kind, and for those jobs that require the tape to have very little stretch. This tape is great for outdoor applications, where the tape will be exposed to the elements.
Before I started using it, I read that it has too much adhesive on it, but I disagree. It has the right amount of adhesive...to stick to porous surfaces like brickwork and wood. And when you peel it off, there is hardly any residual adhesive remaining on the surface. I also read that Gorilla tape smells awful, but it does not....it smells like licorice and paint thinner...and you'd literally have to have the tape right against your nose to be able to smell it.
For its double thickness, I was pleasantly surprised at how easily this tape can be torn to size by hand. No knife or scissors are needed to cut it.
Because this is a use-specific product, this and other brands of duct tape are NOT made for packing carboard boxes...use packing tape instead! Packing tape is made to stretch before it tears. Packing tape is made to be cut by a knife or scissors; and packing tape is made to stick to cardboard. If you use Gorilla tape or another brand for packaging, the tape will eventually tear at the edges of the cardboard box (where there is motion), so don't use any duct tape for packaging...duct tape is not designed to perform like packing tape. Also, duct tape is not designed to be used as painters' masking tape....with Gorilla tape's extra adhesive, it would be a disaster when you peel it off and find out you took pieces of drywall or plaster with it! Duct tape is not masking tape, so don't expect it to perform like masking tape.
If I had to pick one brand of duct tape to keep in the car for emergencies or in my tool box, Gorilla tape would be my choice.
 STICKY BUT NOT AS STRONG OR HEAT RESISTENT AS IT SHOULD BE -- OUR SOLUTION WAS A GLUE GUN! June 14, 2007

IN A NUTSHELL:
If "Duck Tape" is not sticky enough and "Gorilla Tape" is not durable enough perhaps it is time to try something different?
The solution for us was a glue gun and there are different types of glue that are available to be loaded in the gun depending on your needs.
JUST WHAT'S WHAT WITH GORILLA GLUE?
Essentially all the virtues and shortcomings of this product have been well articulated by other reviewers except perhaps for the sheer frustration that using the wrong sticky product can fill one's day with.
Gorilla Glue's virtue, it is very sticky, is made into a fatal weakness due to the tape's lack of strength, compared to the bond it provides compounded by its lack of durability when exposed to the elements. In practice, the surfaces that you want to keep joined eventually come apart because the tape fails. The bond stays strong but the structure of the tape is niether strong enough nor weather resistant enough to provide a long lasting bond.
BOTTOM LINE: WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT IF THE TAPE WERE STRONGER AND MORE WEATHER RESISTANT
