Gaffer or Duct tape
Folks, What's your thoughts on brand and type of tape to lay temporary

Duck tape have a no-residue version. Not quite as sticky as the ordinary stuff, but still very good and it comes away clean. http://duckbrand.com/products/duck-t...188-in-x-25-yd d --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

If you love a thing, don't put duct tape on that thing. Pro-Gaff is probably the cheapest, worst gaffer's tape around, but it's a million times better than duct tape. Polyken 223 will stick longer without drying out, but it's also more expensive. Use whatever gaffer's tape you can get locally, just use gaffer's tape. However... for putting cable on the floor, try tunnel tape. Gaffer's tape with no adhesive in the middle. Available from whatever cinema supplier you buy gaff from. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Doesn't leave a residue in the short term. Long term I don't know. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

It doesn't claim to be 'Gaffer Tape' per se, but seems fine, and only leaves residue when dried out (months). Sadly in the general populace the term Duct Tape is applied to any wide tape, and not the stuff actually designed for sealing duct vent pipe tubing. Some is tearable, and some isn't. Some has a cloth substrate, and some hasn't. Some are removable and some resist removal. All this further confused by a the brand calling itself Duck Tape, which many mistakenly use as a generic name for any removable cloth-based wide tape. Suitable type best found by recommendations (as per here now), or experimentation ! geoff |

If Wikipedia is correct, "duck tape" is actually the original, formulated during WWII for sealing ammunition boxes with something easily removable but waterproof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape |
