Type of review

I suppose you get what you pay for. This gaffer tape is less expensive than any other I've seen. Probably for a good reason.On fast food menus the sandwiches are perfectly staged and look like the pinnacle of quality eating. In reality they're a sloppy mess.Well, it's the same for this tape. The tape I received is poorly wrapped (looks like it was either exposed to some extreme temperatures or manufacturing was sloppy), and the paper label on the inside of the spool is peeling off.It's also a…

Pros
  • USE IT FOR LABELING PROJECTS. Aside from serving its purpose as a floor marker in photography and film shoots, you can also use this pro gaff tape as a masking tape for other projects, such as labeling. You can easily write on its cloth material.
Cons
  • The matte finish may be prone to peeling or flaking off over time

I have a new favorite tape!

I have to be honest in that I was a bit unsure what Gaffer tape actually was when I placed my order. I was hoping it would work for a couple of repair applications and figured I would take a chance on it since everything I have used to date didn't hold for very long, or held and ruined the surface of what it was taped to.I am happy to report that I love this tape! I appreciate that you can remove it without any damage done to the surface it was sticking to, but more importantly, it really does…

Pros
  • PERFECT FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SETTINGS. This black tape is not sensitive to what type of surface you will adhere to, and it won’t unstick even if it’s rained on. It is compatible with plastic, vinyl, wood, metal, cement, leather, and glass.
Cons
  • The tape may not be flexible enough for certain applications

Good stuff, just remember you can't use it *everywhere*

Always good to take a roll of gaffer tape with you on a road trip -- especially in a vintage RV where lots can go wrong. Overall, really glad I took this tape but wish I hadn't gotten comfortable with the idea that you can put gaffer tape on anything. though it didn't leave any residue anywhere, it DID strip some of the finish off some of the interior paneling of the RV. When used on real wood, the tape performed well, but any place I used it on veneer/paneling, it ripped the finish off with…

Pros
  • I believe it's waterproof also. Writing with permanent marker to make labels works great.
Cons
  • It is not recommended for use on delicate surfaces, as it may cause damage

Good hold and strength, not entirely opaque.

Service was fine. The quality of the tape is very good. The adhesive holds and does not leave a residue. The tape is strong and cloth -- as advertised. Great value for most applications.If you are looking to use this tape for blacking out LED lights or other luminous things, you will likely need to use more than one thickness, as the tape is not entirely opaque; the cloth is not particularly tightly woven even though it is strong. You cannot tear, for example, the cloth with your fingers, but…

Pros
  • Adhesives, Sealants & Lubricants
Cons
  • It may leave a residue on certain surfaces, making it difficult to clean up

Potential Uses good for me

I used this tape to hold together two large rugs I have in our family room.It seems to be holding although one side has pulled away slightly. At some point I will redo that area, but for now it's okay.I would have liked the company to tell me what other uses this tape has.

Pros
  • The matte finish makes it perfect for photography and filming, as it does not create any unwanted reflections
Cons
  • It may be difficult to find replacement rolls of the same size and color

good but not true white

bought this for a v flat and it worked well however the white is not white, its more off white. I will have to paint to get it to match the foam core. Keep this in mind if you are using this for photo purposes.

Pros
  • nice tape to cover and hide things with, it adhesion is very good
Cons
  • The tape may not adhere properly in damp or moist conditions

My Favorite General Purpose Tape

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…

Pros
  • Can also be used for insulation, sealing, and packing
Cons
  • The tape may not be suitable for use on surfaces that will be exposed to high levels of moisture or humidity

I am a stagehand and sound engineer in the event production / music industry and I know good gaffer's tape from bad gaffer's tape. This is not "professional grade" gaffer tape.I primarily use this product to tape down audio/video cables to various surfaces, to create floor markings and to line the edges of set decor (such as fabric skirt curtains). Frankly, this tape doesn't cut it. Its flaws are as follows:-It is paper thin and rips too easily.-The adhesive is not strong enough to hold

Pros
  • Can be easily blended with dark surfaces due to its black color
Cons
  • The adhesive may become less effective over time, causing the tape to lose its grip

What I needed on my review.

I have so many Ethernet wires running from my bedroom to my living room and needed to secure them. I decided to try this tape based on the product details. It was exactly what I needed. The best feature is that it doesn’t damage my rug when I have to pull it up to rearrange the wires. When I put the tape down I found it necessary to "rub” along it’s length to get good adhesion, but once it stuck I had no problems. Note: when I moved my wires I used a fresh piece of tape to hold them down.

Pros
  • Perfect for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts, this tape is ideal for all your electrical, creative, and household needs
Cons
  • The tape may not adhere well to certain types of metal or glass surfaces

The product is good quality and very reasonable price, easy to cut (or tear and apply smoothly). Both the 1" inch and 2 inches wide tapes adhere well.The gaffers tapes arrived very quickly and in excellent condition.Our FTC team uses the gaffers tape for a wide range of robotics projects in robotics/FTC and in many other stage set up/assembly, assembling our FTC robotics field, putting up signs at school and in the community. The gaffers peels off easily and has seldom left any residue. It also

Pros
  • Provides strong and heavy-duty grip to secure cords and wiring in place
Cons
  • The tape may not be suitable for use on painted surfaces, as it may damage the paint

Does not come off in the rain or snow.

I ordered this gaffer tape I needed to hang up a 13-oz sign outside in the outdoors I need something that will not stick to the surface leaving a mark so for example if I would use duct tape it will leave a mark on the actual sign as well as on the service I'm touching it too so gaffers tape my friends told me that if I would use it it would come off easily and not leave a mark so there's different companies so I decided to try this one out it actually does a job easy to use does not peel off…

Pros
  • Its durable construction can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh weather conditions
Cons
  • It may be more expensive than other types of tape

Excellent tape, even for unconventional uses

I got this tape for the sole purpose of taping up my breasts (natural 38DD) for an upcoming photo shoot. Last night I did a test run and this tape not only held up my breasts for a few hours, it did so well that I could jump around and they stayed in place. This is a really big deal to us larger chested gals. The best part, however, came when I peeled the tape off: it DID NOT HURT! No residue either!Once I started messing with this tape, I realized that it is SO much better than duct tape. It…

Pros
  • Adhesive Tapes
Cons
  • The matte finish may make it difficult to write on the tape with a pen or marker

Not bad, not great for my opinion

This stuff is better than some gaffer tape I have bought. but if you are thinking this will have the adhesion of a duck tape, you will be disappointed. It will stick for a while and then it will let go.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • It is not recommended for use on outdoor surfaces, as it may not hold up well

Buy Gaffer Power instead, NOT XFasten

XFasten is terrible tape. Not as advertised. Had to tape down 50 feet of wire for 4 days. Barely held for a session and was half off by the next day, Always had to press it back on. The entire 50 feet of wire had sticky residue on it when I took it up. Now I can't even use the wire because it is a sticky mess. I've had wonderful results with the Gaffer Power brand. Going back t

Pros
  • The tape can be used both indoors and outdoors, making it highly versatile
Cons
  • The tape may not be ideal for use in applications where a strong adhesive is required
