Re: [pinhole-discussion] black tape
Actually- what I think you're talking about is called gaffer tape- it comes in black, gray and white. Look in the phone book for film production companies in your area- then from there find an equipment (motion picture film) supplier- tell them you're tracking down gaff tape. Or if you're desperate- call Grace and Wild- ask for equipment supplies- 1-248-471-6010. rp - Original Message - From: Michael Keller m.w.kel...@verizon.net To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

Re: [pinhole-discussion] black tape
This is extremely helpful, thanks. I gave up on Calumet after trying without success for two years to get a catalog from them some time ago, so they've never been on my radar. Thanks for looking it up. Katharine Michael Keller wrote: Gaffer tape is a very strong, cloth based tape that looks somewhat like duct tape, but isn't. It was originally developed to tape small light fixtures (like Lowell lights) to walls and doors in tight locations, so that it holds good but comes off pretty clean (if you don't leave it on forever). I work in a building that includes a theater, and our theater crew uses both black and white gaffer tape to taping down runs of cables, taping down dance floor and junk like that. I use it to tape electrical cables down to the floor, to hold seamless background up against a wall, and whenever else I might need strong tape. I just popped over to Calumet's web site at http://www.calumetphoto.com/ and using speed search, I typed in gaffer and found: Gaffers Tape 1 x 60 Yards Black $6.49 Gaffers Tape 2 x 60 Yards Black $11.49 They also have grey and white. BTW, the Gaffer is the head lighting guy on a film or video shoot. ___ Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.p at ???/discussion/

Check photo supply stores and web sites, also film/video locations, for black gaffer tape. |-Original Message- | |Boy, I'd sure like to know where to find that tape.
