Premium Professional Grade Gaffer Tape - Black

The Upsetter: Good luminescent tape. It fits the definition of gaffer's tape in that it's a structurally strong cloth tape with easy high adhesion and easy removal with no residue or gumminess. Can be removed and re-applied. Not as adhesive as regular gaffer's tape. Not as luminescent as the plastic 'peel'n'stick' glow in the dark tape, but will last through the night. Not so bright you could see it in a movie theater after a half an hour, but you'll definitely see it if you wake up at four in the a.m and your eyes have adjusted to darkness.

I like it, wish it came in a bigger size.

Edited to add: Since this is a cloth tape it will get wet and will get stained, unlike plastic peel'n'stick glow tape. I have both types on a coffee mug and this gaffer's tape has started turning brown in spots after washing out grounds, while the plastic tape is pristine. This has affected the luminescence some. Have yet to try cleaning it with a toothbrush. But then again the plastic peel'n'stick tape is a giant pain to clean off of something after it has adhered a while. Happy with the trade off for ease of removal.

Daniel: False advertising. It glows in the dark, but it's not gaffer tape, not even slightly.

Jess Foster: Where has this been all my life?? I originally was trying to find neon washi tape to decorate picture frames but none of them were actually neon. I decided to take a chance and see what this stuff was like and it was a GREAT decision and worth the money. You get a lot of tape and it is vibrant, bright and actually sticks and removes when you need it to. I had to adjust it several times trying to make sure I made it as straight as possible on the frames and it still stuck wonderfully after all that. It's a great way to experiment with colors without permanently changing frames/furniture/etc. If only they made it in every color and pattern under the sun!

Kat H.: I think this is the perfect tape. Very strong, fantastic hold and easy to peel with no residue or damage (I’ve had to use it on cabinetry, for example, and it didn’t harm the finish in the least). It’s the tape I reach for first. It literally has no downsides.

ameliapond: I've heard about gaffers tape, but didn't give it any thought. But I ran into a situation in which my usual, duct tape, shouldn't be used. Duct tape tends to leave a lot of difficult to remove residue. If I do need to use the tape, I can't leave bad residue. While I haven't used it long enough to test for residue, short term it left none. I tried it on a worn, painted surface, on stainless steel, and plastic. Perfect! Also, it's much more flexible than duct tape, and conforms to awkward shapes. It has a cloth-like backing that seems very strong, yet it is fairly easy to tear by hand. And the adhesive is very sticky.
I was looking for a highly rated, reasonably priced roll of gaffer tape, preferably a smaller roll. None of the smaller ones seemed to be that great, so I ordered this larger one. I'm glad I did! If it was cheaper, I'd replace duct tape with this completely.
Highly recommended!

Jon A. Duncan: Gaffer tape is hard to find and usually quite expensive when you find it. I ordered this via Amazon Prime and it arrived at my home on the same day that I placed my order! (Chicago suburbs, free shipping, too!). It also was quite a bit less expensive and higher in quality than the gaffer tape that I usually have found at art supply stores. I won't get it from art supply stores any more!

Gaffer tape is great stuff as it is very easy to work with, and most importantly, doesn't leave a sticky residue when you take it up. It tears easily and straight without any scissors or knives, too.

I use it for a lot of different things but my favorite has been to seal the perimeters around window air conditioners. It works perfectly for that purpose and the white tape blends right in with the white windows so you don't even notice it's there. (It's available in other colors, too). When I remove the air conditioners, there won't be a sticky tape residue left behind and it doesn't damage the window frames.

Another common use for gaffer tape is to tape down electrical cords to the floor so people don't trip on them. It's the perfect solution for that as it, again, won't leave a...
