Tape, and more tape and types of tape....
One of the tools in the AV industry is tape. There are lots of different kinds of tape and each has a use for events.
- Gaff Tape - the industry standard, comes in a variety of qualities, sizes and colours.
- Duct Tape (Duck Tape or Cloth Tape) - The easiest to find at the dollar store, or hardware store or even big box stores. But the most hated tape for facilities, and AV Companies.
- Electrical Tape - we use this primarily as a wrapping tape to hold cables together. Nowadays changing to velcro strips (or for some companies they use strings).
- Masking Tape - I call this "marking tape" cuz we use it to put labels on an audio or video mixer, or on wireless mics or just to label the laptops. We use the green painters tape, but regular masking tape works just as well. I've even used white electrical tape.
Please watch this video to learn more about the various kinds of tapes we use. Leave me comments here on the website or on the channel.
