Except duct tape ages fast and the adhesive become hard and brittle. I use a lot, but not for exterior weather sealing of things like matching networks. Don't purchase a lot as it ages while still in a roll. At least what I have, has. Paracord comes in many colors, but are any of them UV resistant? What is paracord material? Nylon? I don't think it's poly, but could be? Anyone know?

Paracord is sold in many colors, from plain white (original) to OD (Olive Drab), camo, black, etc. As duct tape is now recommended for just about everything EXCEPT sealing ducts, paracord is used for oodles of applications not related to parachutes. Things such as lanyards to prevent tool loss overboard, boot laces, knife handle wrap, snares, braided bracelets, braided keychains, and various fobs plus a plethora of additional uses including DIY antenna construction where black is favored for UV resistance.
