Gaffer tape is a strong, durable adhesive tape commonly used in the film, theater, and photography industries. It is designed to hold down cables, secure props, and manage lighting equipment without leaving a sticky residue when removed. Its matte finish helps prevent glare, making it ideal for use in professional settings. Unlike regular duct tape, gaffer tape is easy to tear by hand and comes in various colors, allowing for versatile applications. It is also resistant to heat and moisture, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. This versatility makes it a favorite among technicians and artists alike.
