FAQ:
1. What is Gaffer Tape used for?
Gaffer Tape is widely used for temporary fixing, cable management, stage setup, equipment protection, masking, labeling, and production applications.
2. What is the difference between Gaffer Tape and Duct Tape?
Gaffer Tape generally uses a matte cloth surface designed for professional production environments, while conventional duct tape is typically optimized for general-purpose repair and maintenance applications.

Yes. The woven cloth backing is designed to provide convenient hand tearability for fast installation.
5. Can it be removed without residue?
Removability depends on the adhesive construction, application time, temperature, substrate, and environmental conditions. For clean-removal applications, a suitable removable-grade construction should be selected and tested.
