Have you always wondered why gaffers tape is so much more expensive than duct tape? Find out what makes gaffers tape special and why it’s preferred for theater, event, and audio/visual use. For All Your Tape Needs → ‪http://www.findtape.com‬. The two key differences between these tapes have to do with the tape's backing/carrier and adhesive. Gaffers tape is a vinyl-coated cloth tape with a matte finish, so it doesn’t reflect light. By contrast, duct tape is polyethylene-coated cloth, which makes it shinier. But the big difference is whether adhesive residue is left behind when you try and remove the tape. Watch the video to see what sticks and what doesn't – and learn more about how to choose between gaffers tape and duct tape.
