Decent
I use a lot of Gaffers in all different colors for live musical performances and stage shows. That being said, I've tried all brands - honestly, this tape will do the job but it's not the best. The side of the roll has a sticky residue to it and the tape isn't as thick and "cloth-like" as other Gaffers. The best I've used thus far is Pro-Gaff and after buying this, I will continue to get only Pro-Gaff. Like I stated before, this stuff will do the job, but it's definitely not what I would consider "choice" tape.
Worth every penny!
We decided to create a haunted castle theme for our Halloween party, and ordered a rolls of dungeon and catacombs printed plastic to cover the walls. We tried the Sticky Tack recommended to hang the stuff, and even the small pieces would NOT stay up more than a few minutes! We have smooth painted walls and wood crown moulding, and tried attaching it to both surfaces with no luck. We tried double-sided tape, with even worse results. After researching online, I found this gaffers tape. This stuff is what they use for set building and holding stuff for stage performances. I figured that, if it is good enough for a stage production, where you just can't have stuff falling down during a show, then it should work for our purposes. Eureka! All of the wall rolls, scene setters, decorations went up and stayed up! The tape is easy to work with, you can even tear it with your fingers, yet it is strong. It is matte black so does not reflect. For what I paid for this roll (and about 1/2 is still...
This is great stuff!
This tape is great!
The essential problem with tape is that it usually either sticks too much, or it sticks too little. It's so hard to find tape that will hold something in place for as long as you need it there, then allow you to remove it without tearing everything up, pulling paint off of the wall or leaving a sticky residue. This tape solves that problem.
Gaffers tape is the stuff that they use on the sets of plays and films to hold things together securely but temporarily. It does jobs like taping down wires and cables, attaching cloth to walls, securing corners of boxes, and so on. A small piece will hold almost anything where you need it to stick, then when you want to remove it, you just pull it up. No residue and no damage to what it was stuck to.
The one real problem is finding gaffers tape at a reasonable price; it's not a standard item at the hardware store, and it's usually not cheap. This product is the solution to both of those...
