I prefer stuff called "Tuck Tape"... used to seal vapour barriers, etc. Sticky as hell, wet or dry, and is very strong.
Came in VERY handy when the car got smacked by a deer... held the front-right quarter panel together for over 3,000 miles. Held the front splitter and bumper in place when the main connection point got busted.
Tried replacing it with colour-matching duct tape later on, but it was slipping too much at speed (the front splitter was being pulled down), so reverted back.
I never leave home without a roll of it in the car or truck now.
