I used this Gaff tape for big film productions and it did exactly what I thought it would do... hold down cables and wires. People walked over/onto it and it stayed put. This tape is like insurance, if you wanna make sure that you don't get sued cause someone trips over faulty wiring (cause for some reason you didn't make them fill out liability forms), buy this cause get what? On our production, no one tripped. We did not get sued. Oh! and it doesn't leave those nasty sticky markings either after your take it off. AND you can reuse it. That's what i do!
Only down side is that it's pretty bulky but that's why you have Production Assistants right?!

Use it to tape seamless to the floor. During a recent shoot it was used to tape the paper background to a carpeted floor. Upon removal at the end of the shoot, the tape had left a glue residue on the carpet which was difficult to remove. This is the first time I have had that happen with gaffers tape.

This is a small item, but it's always such a pleasure ordering from B&H. They have everything in stock when you need it. They get it to you pronto, and the prices are always very competitive. On the rare occasion there is a problem, they take of you immediately and fully. I've been ordering all of my professional gear and supplies from B&H for years and they never let me down!

Comments about General Brand Gaffer Cloth Tape - Matte Black:
If you want cost effectiveness, get the bigger roll of tape. This is a good backup for when you want to pack lighter. If you've never used Gaffer tape, you can rip it in straight lines by hand, and it is much higher quality than duct tape. Doesn't leave a sticky residue on your gear unless it's been in a hot car for a while. Then no tape is really safe.

Comments about General Brand Gaffer Cloth Tape - Matte Black:
The tape works well, I bought it along with the "Permacel/Shurtape Pro Gaffer Tape 2" x 12 yds" from B&H. This tape was less expensive and 2 yards longer, but isn't as thick or as nice. For most things, its great, but for high stress usage like taping over switches on camera lenses, I use the more expensive tape. For more traditional gaffer tape uses like taping wires, jerry-rigging, etc, this tape works great. If you need basic gaffer tape, this stuff will hold your production together.

Well, I'm not really sure what to write about tape exactly. It does the job I want it to do and it doesn't leave behind a nasty residue, so I guess that is all I can ask for.
