IA76 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi We need to run some XLR cables over carpet and secure it with tape. What's the proper name for the tape that won't destroy our carpet! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 That rather depends on how delicate your carpet is... Good quality gaffer tape might do the job, but you'd want to test it on an inconspicuous bit first. Camera tape is also good but not particularly cheap. I regularly use decent gaffer on the very hard wearing carpets you get in commercial buildings but they're so indestructible that sometimes the tape won't even stick to them... If it's a domestic type carpet or other more easily damaged type, I'd go for rubber mats rather than tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Le Mark should be able to help you out, They do carpet and drape tape, and clear gaf which are carpet friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mervaka Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 my current batch of gaffer tape has a nack of pulling up hard floor polish/varnish too :P oops.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ross Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 We work in a few more “up market” hotels that can get a little funny if you leave lots of tape residue over their carpet. To get around this we have a number of cable covers of varying lengths that are then held down by a small piece of tape at the ends and maybe the middle on a long run. Maybe something like this would be a better bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
