<VV> Insulating heater hose

[Frank DuVal]

That's right. Always check duct tape for continuity, as REAL duct tape 
is aluminum based. The cheap stuff is vinyl or cloth, and NOT for use on 
heating/AC duct work! It just falls off in a year or so.

I have used the cheap stuff to insulate the heater hoses on Corvairs, 
since it has no conductivity. AKA Gaffer's Tape.
