Q&A

Is gaffer tape a must-have item?

Gaffer tape is a must have. You can tear a piece off easily, it can be removed and reattached, and there is no sticky residue like with masking tape or duct tape. Theres a reason its called Gaffer Tape, as professional film technicians use it on every set. As an example, I needed to tape down a wire in my car that ran to my dash cam. I tried electrical tape and masking tape, both failed within a day and the cables came loose, leaving behind a melted, sticky mess. With Gaffer Tape, it held the wire in place in heat and cold and has yet to come off.

Where can Gaffer tape be used?

I have taped so many things, the flaps on the window AC that were falling apart and the gaps above it and below it, the gaps on the portable AC, the cords trailing from the window AC, and some veneer pieces that were coming apart from the bedframe that were scraping my hands when I made the bed. The gaffer tape is unnoticeable, easy to cut with your fingers, and easy to apply and remove with no sticky residue. Beautiful.
