Review on XFasten 2 Inch Black Gaffers Tape - 30 Yards Non-Reflective, No Residue Tape With Matte Finish For Photography And Floor Use, Ideal For Securing Electrical Cords And Wiring by Devin Henry

I originally bought this tape because I wanted something I could put over certain light reflective surfaces that shined too much in my eye with my lighting scheme at my computer desk. I like to sit in a dark room with very specific lighting. I also used it around my window frame to minimize the reflection from the sun when it hits at a specific angle.I've also used this to tape over the edge of my desk where the adhesive woodgrain looking thing was coming off. These have held for many months, and I just peeled one back and put it back on. It only left a bit of adhesive around the edges.I also recently used the tape when building a cardboard/paper layered standoff on my desk to make my mousing giant keyboard/mousepad surface even with my monitor stand base since my new monitor stand base was getting in the way of my mouse. Once all the cardboard/paper was in place under the mousepad, I taped down the edges with this tape.I also used the tape to secure a desklamp I have on top of some stacked boxes shining down light over my monitors, to make sure it doesn't tip over. It's holding perfectly and not coming undone.I'm also using it on some cardboard pieces to cover them and make them black, and I use them to block overly bright areas on my wall and to block the gaps between my monitors which look ugly.All in all, the tape looks great, the black matte is relatively unreflective, it sticks great, stays stuck, but can be undone and restuck, doesn't seem to leave much if any residue except maybe around the edges a bit. Also, when you tear it, it comes apart straight and clean, which is incredible. You have to apply a bit of effort, but then it just snaps apart like magic when you try to tear it like a sheet of paper.I don't know how this stacks up against other gaffer tapes, and since I don't gaff, I can't comment on whether it's good for gaffing. ;)
