WELSTIKPremium Grade Gaffer Tape Black, Made of Pure Cotton, Heavy Duty Gaff Tape, Non-Reflective, Multipurpose, 2Inches x 45 Yards, Easy to Rip

very good

The only thing you need to know about this tape is that it has very low adhesion. I like that for when I need to remove it, but it's not ideal for long term labels. Otherwise, it's decent tape.

I used this to tape up focus rings and cover shutter dial on my still camera when shooting studio work. It sticks well and doesn't seem to leave any residue and therefore it does what's expected. Does that earn 5 stars? I guess so.

Easy to tear…. Comes off easily no residue.

Licking a piece of normal paper and then using that as an adhesive would stick better than this tape. I'm 90% sure the adhesive used here is made by taking an empty bottle of kids glue, swishing some water in the bottle, then gently misting a few drops to the back of some black paper. I tested it on a dozen different surfaces around me, from wood to paper to various plastics to glass... a strip of it couldn't even stick well enough to resist the pull of gravity, and it just falls to the floor.

I purchased this and a yellow version to use as tape for agility poles. Very nice colours and good stick to the PVC but doesn’t stick to itself. I had to cut it exactly on the line if I wanted it to work but you see the white line. Great feel to the tape though, nice and rough almost.
