Stick it to 'Em: The Amazing History of Gaffers Tape!
Did you know that gaffers tape, the strong and durable tape used on film sets and by DIYers alike, was invented specifically for the world of cinematography? That's right! In the 1950s, renowned cinematographer Ross Lowell was frustrated with the need for a tape that could reliably hold lighting equipment in place without leaving residue or damaging the surface. So, he set out to create a tape that could withstand the rigors of film sets and provide a clean, temporary solution.
And thus, gaffers tape was born! The result is a robust and fabric-based tape designed to be easily torn by hand and leave no residue when removed. The tape comprises a rich, woven cotton or polyester fabric coated with strong adhesive. This adhesive allows the tape to adhere to various surfaces, including metal, wood, glass, and plastic.
But what makes Gaffers' tape so unique?
- Its strength and durability make it a popular choice for various applications. It can secure lighting equipment, cables, and other props on film sets or hold up posters, decorations, and other items for DIY projects.
- Another benefit of gaffers tape is its versatility. It can be easily torn by hand, making it a convenient tool to have on hand for any situation. And because it leaves no residue when removed, it won't damage surfaces or leave a sticky mess behind.
