Use the Real Thing - Gaffer Tape!
Gaffer tape is a real stage tape not to be confused with duct tape. Gaffer tape is made with a fine cloth weave that leaves little to no adhesive residue behind once it's removed. Duct tape, on the other hand, leaves that sticky, gummy, residue. Hosa now offers musicians and stage hands real gaffer tape — and best of all, it's black.
