Can be used for DIY production
Gaffer tape is mainly used to temporarily fix items and mark items. Also called stage tape. Gaffers tape is widely recognized for its many applications, which are critical to the film and music industry. A few of its benefits in the production industry include attaching gels to light, spiking a tripod, setting marks for an actor, taping things to walls with paint (Gaffers tape will not pull off paint), taping down cables to the floor, securing two cables together, hanging up paper or cloth, labeling dimmers and circuits, labeling gear, and securing backdrops.
