"Gaffers" Tape

[John]

I have been searching high and low for several years now for more Polyken brand "Gaffers" tape. My little brother gave me a roll of that stuff years ago and I found it indispensible. However, I finally ran out. #ad

Can anyone steer me in the proper direction for further procurement of the POLYKEN brand, "Gaffers" tape? This is NOT duct tape, but a matte black, 2" wide tape with a cloth type facing. In addition, "Gaffers" tape does not leave sticky residue behind if removed (unlike duct tape). The ONLY down side being it costs more than duct tape.

I ordered several rolls of a so called "Gaffers" tape from MCM Electronics several years ago but received a very low quality duct tape they tried passing off as "Gaffers" tape. When I called them after receipt of the "incorrect" order they shipped me more "Gaffers" tape, this time, of a different color in hopes of giving me the correct (type) product... same cheap duct tape, different color. #ad


I would REALLY appreciate a line on the Polyken brand of "Gaffers" tape... anyone?

The first link is the Polyken, cloth back tape and the second is the home page. This should get you what you want.

Gaff tape kicks A**. I use it alot for DJ setups to tape cords in floors or to outlets.

We use it by the case in our business (prf photography) We get it locally at a place called Pro Photo Connection in Irvine, CA. I don't think it's the same brand but does the exact same thing as you describe. They do ship all over, so if you couldn't find it they could ship you some (or so could I).
Let me know if you need anything.

Thank you Alan. #ad
I requested a sample of their 585 (black) "multi-purpose gaffers tape. " This sounds exactly like the tape my brother gave me. BTW, as he isn't "in the business" anymore he wasn't able to supply any additional "Gaffers" tape to me.
