general purpose duct tape is in fact conductive. i made an amplifier very unhappy playing with some speakers trying to use duct tape to seal off the back side of the speakers(putting tape over/across the terminals), the speakers started audibly distorting from the short. i've also ran into it a few times in residential wiring, after it causes issues that no one else can figure out...

i'm talking about this stuff


put an ohm meter on the adhesive part of your roll
