MO: Gaffer Tapes (Round 25)

[canturn]

Here's another round of an ongoing gaffer tape MO that I've been doing for CS for the past Three years. The brand that I bring in is Apollo, a trusted and reliable brand have been very popular not only in CS, but this is the brand sold to professionals theatres such as Singapore Dance Theatre, Esplanade, Nanyang Playhouse. Stock is also readily available for those who needs it before the deadline of the MO.

Don't be fooled by cheaper versions of these tapes as many (almost all) manufacters do claim that theirs are non-residual, but some of these are not suitable for photographic equipment as after a few days, they DO leave behind sticky residue or overly sticky that it removes the marking on your equipment!

I have been testing out many different brands of gaffer tapes in the market and so far, this is one of the few brands that truly do not leave behind sticky residue even after years and many CS members can testify that. What's more, they are reusable if the surface that you apply the tape on is clean.

What are Gaffer tapes used for?

• Tape over the areas that are vunerable to knocks, wear, abrasion. Let the gaffer tapes take the punishment for your precious equipment!
• Use it as an adhesive base for other non-residual tapes. Apply gaffer tapes and you can stick on any other tapes - velcro, coloured or camouflage.

Why Gaffer tapes?

• Non-residual. Won't leave behind sticky residue on your equipment. Many CS members can testify that.
• Non-slip. These tapes provide extra grip to the areas that you've applied the tape.
• Professional grade quality tapes that are made in USA, used by professional theatre companies, audio recording companies, film-makers. This is a little premium to ensure that your equipment are kept at tip top condition. Set your mind at peace since these tapes won't leave behind sticky goo.

Specifications

2" X 55m in length
Available in Black (or white upon special request)


Price

$40 per roll (same price both black or white). Remember, price is very reasonable compared to many other tapes, considering the quantity you get!

Once you've PM me your HP /contact no., I'll take it that you've confirmed your order.

Thanks!

Note: Closing date of the MO is 24 April 2006, 11pm.

Collection can be made the following Saturday, 29 April 2006, 1pm at Peninsula Plaza Burger King. Am quite busy this year, so I've got a list for those who CAN make it on 29 April 2006, as well as those who would like to collect from me at Pasir Ris.


Postage

For the busy folks, postage + packing cost will be an additional $5. Item will be packed nicely in bubble-cushioned envelopes and it's still more worthwhile than your patrol + parking fee.

(Please PM me your HP /contact no. after you've placed your name there)

sorry i abit OT here, but can i ask if we have to remove the gaffer tapes if it is left on the camera for too long? i remember reading somewhere that if on camera too long, will harden or something. seen somewhere that says we have to change the gaffer tape every 2-3 months? is this true?

So far, my gaffer tape on my Leica MP has been on it for the past 1 year, no prob, moreover, it is stored in the dry box under low humidity.

Only reason I can think of that it'll crack is when you subject it to very high temperature, which I DOUBT anyone of us would bring our cam to that kind of temperature, hehe.

If you're gaffer the cam, you only change the portions that you have contact with, esp. grip and baseplate. Good to change it like every 2 months for hygiene sake

The ones on my tripod has been there for 3 years, no sign of cracking at all, quality of the adhesive used is really good!

Sorry... dumb question... can the 55m length be factory-cut say to 18m x 3 rolls? That's because I am sharing the tape among 3 buddies. 1 roll is too much for me.
