There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
- It is quite resistant to "un-spooling" - that is, to peel a segment off the roll for use.
- A free piece has a maddening tendency to fold over on itself, although it's usually possible to peel it apart again with a bit of care and fussing.
- For some reason, small patches of the adhesive sometimes would transfer onto my fingers as I was peeling a piece of tape off the roll, or handling a free piece to position it. (These patches came right off of my fingers if I "dabbed" the adhesive side of the tape onto them). Not sure why the adhesive came off the tape, though.
Beyond these annoyances, I'm happy with the tape.
I did buy a replacement camera once upon a time at a yard sale, but I just had such fond memories of this camera, and was familiar with the kinds of pictures it took that I wanted to get it going again if possible.
I was able to see that manually moving the door latch switch to the closed position would keep it there, and the camera would go through the film loading process, and I could see that the camera was still able to auto focus and the shutter was functioning normally. My only issue was how to keep the door of the camera closed once I had film loaded. The last thing I wanted was to have a situation where whatever tape I used would lose its stick and the door would pop open exposing the film in the camera.
I considered electrical tape first but in my experience, it doesn't stand up to constant handling and the adhesive melts from body heat making a mess everywhere. Not only would this most likely cause the tape to fail and the door to open, it would probably leave the camera a sticky mess.
Then I thought about duct tape. We all know the saying, if it doesn't move and it should, WD-40, if it moves and it shouldn't, Duct Tape. But I've had similar issues with the adhesive on duct tape failing after some time, and it definitely leaves behind residue.
My biggest reasoning for worrying about residue is that if I wanted to use this camera more than one or two times, I'd need the surface of the camera to remain pretty free of residue so tape can continue sticking to the surface each time I load a roll of film.
Then I had the realization of Gaff tape. No residue, great stick. But then I saw the prices of Gaff tape which was crazy out of my budget. For the prices I saw, it may have been better to just deal with removing the residue from something like duct tape and hope to not have any tape failures while film was loaded.
Then I came across this Gaff tape. I saw some very mixed reviews about it and saw some people mention a possible formulation change in the adhesive through the years. But at the price for the roll, and knowing I won't be using very much at a time, I decided to go for it and to just do a dry run first before putting any film in the camera.
This tape worked perfectly as I'd hoped. In my dry run I made sure to wear the camera around my neck so it got bumped around throughout the day. I put it in and out of my bag. I made sure to hold the camera and mess around with it. The adhesive never melted or gave out. I had it on for about 3 or so days before deciding to pull it off and go live with actual film and not a single bit of residue was left behind on the body of the camera. For context it is made out of plastic and there is texture on some parts where the tape was placed. This even ends up covering the tripod mounting hole that I don't use anyway and the tape never lifted.
I can't necessarily speak to this being used in the field for Gaffing purposes but I can say without a doubt that this tape delivered exactly as I'd hoped and I'm beyond happy with my purchase. I've shot 2 rolls of film in this camera with no issues, and I even dropped it once while it was taped and the tape didn't give way. When I run out I will definitely be purchasing this again.
*Update on 10/16/2023: This tape really holds well, however the adhesive portion of the tape is unusually tacky and will stick to everything, leaving a substantial residue behind.

*Update on 10/16/2023: This tape really holds well, however the adhesive portion of the tape is unusually tacky and will stick to everything, leaving a substantial residue behind.
I like this tape because, for the limited amount of times I've used it, has the right balance of adhesion and removal ability. I haven't had the tape on anything long term so I cannot comment on how the adhesive will stay pliable and moist over time or how quickly it may dry out as they often do if left for years. I'd say this tape, while not cheap, compared to others is a pretty good value.
