Gaffer Tape

Gaffer tape is widely used in the film and television industry as well as staging and production. Primarily it was used to secure cables running across the floor to prevent them from becoming a trip hazard. It is a popular choice as it tears easily so you can work without tools or carrying a sharp object. It does not leave a sticky residue on the cables once removed. It has additional properties which have made it a favourite within the field of production, like its matte finish and grippy adhesive, but its versatility has made it widely adopted. Once you have used gaffer tape you will find it an indispensable tool in any DIY and household project.
