What's gaffer tape? Is it like insulation tape?

Edit: ah, it's more like duct tape then.

The tape is manufactured in many colors, including fluorescent and custom colors, but the most common variety is matte black or dull grey.

Duct, Gaffer & Cloth Tape - A Guide to Industrial Tape
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alistair_Keys]Alistair Keys

One myth about the word Duct Tape comes from World War II, when a tape was manufactured for the US Military to prevent water from getting into ammunition boxes. As the water rolled of the boxes the word was born 'Duct' Tape, as it was a comparison to being like a duck on the water - the water rolls off looking like the feathers are dry. The tape was also widely used to repair army tents as a quick and easy repair for the troops on the move , it was also light and easy to carry.

Since these early years the tape has been used in the building and construction industry for repairing and sealing air and heating ducts. One of the main advantages of using Duct Tape is the tape is made of cloth so it can be torn easily by hand plus it has a 75mm core which allows your hand to fit inside which helps to wrap tape around pipes. The tape is pressure sensitive and needs pushing down to create a tight seal. Duct Tape can also be made PVC based but it has to be cut with a knife rather than just by hand, to give a clean edge.

Here is a breakdown of Duct, Gaffer and Cloth Tape:

Polycloth Ducting Tape Ref 163 - Def Standard 81/25/2 BS 3887

on back plates. Its made of cloth, coated with durable plastic which ensures a reliable performance. Available in 50mm or 75mm widths on 50M rolls.
