Gaffer Tape

Gaffer Tape

A common application for Gaffer Tape is securing cables to a stage floor, podium, or other surfaces, either for safety or concealment.

It is also frequently used whenever a quick ad-hoc fix is required, from temporarily attaching fixtures or props, to salvaging a broken piece of production equipment.

The primary difference between Gaffer Tape and Duct Tape is the adhesive residue left behind when the tape is removed. Gaffer tape is designed to be removed residue-free from the cable, flooring, or surface it was adhered to. Duct tape will leave a sticky residue when it is removed.
