OT - Gaffers Tape

[Elecraft mailing list]

In applications where I don't want to leave any tape residue, instead of duct tape I use gaffers tape.
It's something I use in photography but it's finding a place in my radio bag.
It holds about the same as duct tape but is easier to rip into strips and leaves less if any residue.

Harry,

     I've found that, for most applications, painter's tape works well.
While not the strength of gaffer's tape (it "rates" about the same as
masking tape), a few extra layers, when needed, usually works. The
advantage is that it's more readily available and costs less. It doesn't
seem to leave any residue, even after having been in place for weeks. I
don't know if it's water-proof, but it doesn't disintegrate when wet
either. Just an alternative to consider.


     Regards,

That and it's great for keeping noisy/nosy onlookers quiet.

8 inches applied just below the nose works fine.
