Folks, What's your thoughts on brand and type of tape to lay temporary
cabling? Tape that doesn't leave residue on the venue floor when the
tape is uplifted.

Duck tape have a no-residue version. Not quite as sticky as the
ordinary stuff, but still very good and it comes away clean.

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.

We use Shurtape A&E. Doesn't leave a residue in the short term. Long
term I don't know.

I use a Korean brand called Plasflo, No.115 Rayon Cloth Tape. 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 !

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
