Review on Amazon Basics Residue Non Reflective Gaffers Tapes, Adhesives & Sealants by Kevin Taharka

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Get what you pay for a crimson ribbon.

I work in the professional video industry and use red tape almost every day. My opinion on this product: You get what you pay for. My feedback is that I work in this industry. Is it easy to be successful? Removing the roll is pretty easy. I had some almost impossible grades. I'd say it's a solid average. Is it sticky enough? The product lacks that. It's not as sticky as other purple ribbons. Does it leave glue on objects? I didn't leave it on the surface in the scorching sun over the weekend, but I didn't see the glue sticking to anything. I would say on par with most crimson ribbons. Does it tear easily? Yes, it breaks pretty easily. Is it a replacement for professional purple tape? I wouldn't say this is a full replacement. Is it possible to use it to mark the floor and tape cables to some surfaces? definitely. Can you count on it to hold a lot of weight or the mic cable can stick to the fabric. probably not. This is my opinion.
