Mounting cameras
Another style more widely used in the entertainment/movie industry is called Cloth Backed Gaffers Tape. It features a strong cloth backing, not plastic and a better adhesive. It will not turn to mush and leave gobs of hard to clean off adhesive all over your finish. Its available in a number of colors including a few flourescent ones. But , you can't find it at your hardware store , or Walmart and its 2-3 times more expensive than a good quality pro level gaff tape. -- keithw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via OziPilots Online [ http://www.OziPilotsOnline.com.au ] - A website for Australian Pilots regardless of when, why, or what they fly - |

I had no idea there was really was a product called "gaffers tape", and I'm amazed at the difference between it and duct tape.

And a Permacel type with 4 times the adhesion - yikes, there goes the gel coat! -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

Yep, Eric,
As a longtime professional in the film/video production business, I can tell you that gaffer's tape is the "goooooood" stuff. Been using it for years. The brand that for years has been the staple in the production business is Permacel. It is usually available from film and video equipment rental houses, etc. Although it has really good adhesion, if pulled slowly it really comes off most surfaces easily and with no residue. I wouldn't personally hesitate to put it on gelcoat. It would definitely be my tape of choice for holding stuff on a wing. Now let me see. where did I put those spare winglets?????
