I would have to agree with nerd that there is some paranoia exhibited here. If you didn't want an innocent and valid explanation for what you saw, a frequent flier website is probably not the appropriate forum for your post. Although, you would probably had gotten answers you expected had you posted about duct tape holding the seats together in the interior of a United plane.
Nevertheless, welcome to FlyerTalk. Thanks to planemechanic for the succinct and scientific explanation of speed tape. I honestly had wondered what this was myself and now I know.

[QUOTE=jennj99738;11701613]You're incorrect. It's the first result. See:http://www.google.com/search?q=unite...ient=firefox-a
jennj99738 You are right. The tech people at FlyerTalk repaired the broken link and when you searched it was repaired. They are really speedy.
The only response I can give to the negative comments that people have been posting is "ouch".

Tape on a wing? 
Please, do not give the OP nightmares by mentioning that for decades airplanes used to be made of thin pieces of wood covered with nothing but bedsheets and paint.

Yeah, it is not something you can get at your local Home Depot, Lowells or other hardware store.
