Gaffer Tape? February 04, 2017, 09:14:51 am Has anyone used gaffer tape? The "press" and reviews appear very positive, and the tape seems to be a versatile product that works as advertised.

Re: Gaffer Tape? Reply #5 – February 05, 2017, 05:38:04 pm "If left in place, it will dry out and leave adhesive residue."I've experienced the same thing. I don't recommend using gaffer tape for long-term purposes unless you never intend to remove it... or are willing to spend a fair amount of time cleaning up with a scraper and solvent.
