Use electrical insulation tapes if you want to be extra safe. They could be subject to UI approvals. Amazon has it for sale.
I'd say it's water resistant to some extent. I've never had a problem with it slipping after being exposed to sweat or high (by AZ standards) humidity, but I wouldn't trust it to withstand submersion or the elements like duct tape.
Depending on the topography, you may be able to fit it smoothly, but it is not stretchable. I didn't get any white tape, at least not the kind I purchased. Because it's so thin, you might be able to get it to conform to some texture changes, but it lacks elasticity. If this is of any assistance, please let me know.
Yes, you can do it with a pen or a sharpie. Ink or gel pens, on the other hand, would not be appropriate.

I bought the Pocket Pro- Following the use of "Mini Gaffer" products, Gaff Tape was used. br>br>In comparison to the MiniGaffer, the MiniGaffer has a bit more tape (8 yards vs. 6 yards). 6 yards in this case), but they're usually sold in bulk. I only needed one roll of Gaff Tape at this time, so I went with the Pocket Pro Gaff Tape. It appeared to be of high quality overall. but didn't have the same grip as the Mini Gaffer. Attaching gels to a speedlight worked, but they quickly peeled away from the speedlight surface (which did not happen with the Mini Gaffer). br>br>This can be solved by using more tape. However, if you're already getting a smaller roll (6 yards vs. 12 yards), it's not worth it. This isn't a great solution (8 yards of Mini gaffer) If you don't require a large amount of tape, this option is recommended. I'd opt for a different brand if a stronger grip is required.
The tape appears to be effective. I noticed that I needed a little more tape than I was used to with other brands. This wouldn't be an issue if this was a standard-sized role like the ones I'm used to. br>br>I normally use Gaff tape for my photography projects, but I had to use this Gaffing Tape to secure a coax cable across a metal threshold of a door when the cable company installer refused to drop the cable in the proper location. Even though the tape gets wet when it rains, it holds up well. br>br>When I peeled back some of it, there was no sticky residue or damage to the painted surfaces. br>br>It would get 5 stars if the tape held up better and I didn't need to use as much to secure things.
When I first heard about it on Peter McKinnon's quick tip show, I assumed it was sponsored, but I was completely wrong. I used generic black tapes, vinyl electrical tape, but this is AMAZINGbr>br>Absolutely no residue, in my experiment, taped on my porch in the sun for two weeks, it was removed with no residue, and if you ask, no it does not stick any longer, now just a tiny bit. Unfortunately, it is not inexpensive, but I have used it on fabrics, plane windows, and camera equipment (yes, to disguise the brand). br>I bought the 2" version and found it less useful because I don't cover cables as much as I should and it's difficult to rip the large tape, which is similar to ripping money. It's pricey. br>br>I prefer the 1" because it uses less material for what is essentially a temporary fix.
When I bumped my telephoto lens, the hood would pop off every now and then. Applying tape to the top of it It is held in place by a 2" piece of tape on the bottom. I can even peel it off and keep it on my hood to use later. I got about 6 uses out of it before it started curling and had to be discarded. I also used it to add traction to the back of my sleek phone case. In this case, the jury is still out. It works, but I'm not sure if it will curl over time; I work in an office, so it isn't subjected to much abuse. It's used to bundle cords by my IT department. Putting it on and taking it off is a breeze.
Gaff tape is useful in a variety of situations.
Pros:
- Exceptionally low pricebr>- It effectively blocks the light from LEDsbr>- Cons: Small sizebr>br>Small sizebr>br>Small sizebr>br>Small
- Other thoughts: It was a little difficult to rip/cut (I'm sure other gaff tape is similar)br>br>Other observations: br>I bought it to cover an LED light on one of my adapters, and it works perfectly. The low price was appreciated because I only needed a small piece.
This was my first gaffer tape roll. I can't believe I put it off for so long! Since then, I've compared it to a different brand, and they're both excellent. This sticks wherever I want it to stick until I don't want it to stick any longer. It's been in my camera bag for a while, but it's been getting a lot of use around the house. It's great that it doesn't leave any residue behind. I'm going to order more of these, in different colors.
It's a good size for use at home. It has a good hold. However, it is less prone to tearing than duck tape. br>br>I used it to make my naked phone grippier, among other things, and after repeated friction from use, one corner lost adhesion but did not fray, and the rest of the strip remained stuck on.
