HOLD IT TOGETHER PEOPLE
Top Ten Uses for Gaff Tape: Or at least our favorite.
1.) To hold the universe together, not just a theatrical tape anymore. 2.) Use Pro Gaff Tape to repair shoes: sole reattachment, anti-slip patch in a pinch, tape to foot in case of shoelace failure, cover reflective bits on running crew’s sneakers for complete blackout during set change 3.) Mark items: tools, sharpies, luggage (Note: LX crew has first dibs on electric blue gaff as their color) 4.) Wrap gifts: newspaper + florescent tape accent = lovely package 5.) Handle unruly crew: attach to wall, remove at later time. You can call it a living art project. 6.) Use any roll, from spike tape to 4in gaff, as a cup holder. Truly, helps with spills! The wider the tape the more steady the cup holder. 7.) Use to mark sight lines offstage 8.) Emergency wardrobe repair; since gaff is a cloth based tape, this works smashingly 9.) Annoying the technical director by any use that cannot be described as “minimal” or specifically in the interest of safety. When TD complains about cost of gaffers tape, point him here for better pricing. 10.) Colored Gaffers Tape to keep children occupied; arts and crafts, imagination stations, etc. You will have 16 color choices to choose from.
