Gaffer Tape, where do you get yours?

It seems I cant find a good price without finding duct tape and not real gaffer tape.

How long a roll do you want if 10m is enough 7dayshop sell it

Only £1.99 each if you buy 2 or more rolls

Is that actual professional gaffer tape or super strong duct type tape?

I wonder that as well, but at 1.99 it sounds like worth trying

Not when it could end up damaging something

probably best to try it on something that won't be damaged if the adhesive doesn't come off.

A bit of searching had brought up http://www.directa.co.uk/site/scripts/products.php?category_id=313

I didn't realise there were so many different sorts of Gaffer tape.

Well I more thought like buy it, see if it is real gaffers tape or not. If not then use it for something else (packing, fixing stuff etc)

I got loads from a pound shop, although they only cost .99p Not a huge amount on the roll but it good stuff and does the job.

What sort of price are you willing to pay and for what size? Good gaffer tape with low reflection is much dearer than duct tape although good duct tape is invaluable too and looks pricey compared with the cheap stuff- it's about the right tape for the right job.
£8-10 a roll is around the going rate for good gaffer tape (50mm width). Prob get a reasonable roll for around £5-6.
Like everything, you get what you pay for.

Don't everrrr spend less than a fiver on a roll of gaff, it'll be utter, utter crap.

On phone atm but I'll post some links when I get home...
