Black Gaffer Tape 48/ 50 mm wide

[Gerry]

Just finished my stock of black gaffer tape.

It was made by Scapa and bought from CPC.

They don't seem to list it anymore.

I like it because it's easy to tear, sticks well and easy to pull up without leaving any sticky residue.

Any recommendations for a similar tape, preferably from CPC as they will deliver to me here in Spain at a sensible price.

Cheers

Are you sure CPC don't still do it but under their Pro Power brand?

 

For instance Waterproof Matt Gaffer Tape 50mm x 50m Black - 3130 BLACK is actually Scapa 3130, the picture is even of a roll of Scapa tape.

Depending on quantity I have not had issues with magtape from lemark, they have resellers locally I expect. However I have found it cheaper to purchase from AC and ship and still be less.

WE use the pro-power from CPC linked above for the reasons you mention.

Thanks for that.

I did a search on CPC for Scapa tape which didn't show any results so I missed the one in your link.

Are you saying that all the Pro Power tapes are made by Scapa?

Not sure if all the Pro Power tape is Scapa, but any with a 4 digit reference number in the description probably is as this is how Scapa refer to their various tapes.

Its considerably cheaper here. But you have to buy a case.

Sorry should have replied before.

Thanks for all the advice.

I found some gaffa tape made by Tessa here in Spain in my local supermarket.

Rips OK and left some, wrapped around a steel pipe out in the sun, usually 35 deg C plus, for a few days.

Unwrapped cleanly without any residue.

So it will do me.

Cheers
