Gaff tape

i have auto subscribe via amazon for these... so no hiccups... same order every time. I order 6 rolls every 4 months, which seems to always be just enough... but I have a feeling for the first time I'll have to make a supplemental order as I have 6 more events before my next order and only 1.5 rolls left... granted between august-nov I've had done 26 weddings, so it makes sense for 6 rolls not to last me 26 events.

With that said, I just started using velcro strips and am happy with them but only for low traffic carpet areas, as they're not really the most secure. But in areas where it's more for creating a clean appearance they work perfect. Perhaps will save me some money over time.

I simply maintain a stock of about 8 rolls at a time. 2 Rolls each: white, brown, tan, and black. I don't always need gaff tape but when I do I typically match it to the color of the flooring. Most of the time I need none at all.

There's no difference in price when I buy various colors and there are more than a dozen to choose from. I stock the full range of colors in spike tape which is also a handy way to color code all kinds of things.

There are some venues where I can reuse gaff tape even over extended periods because it's repositionable and reusable. In a theater for example, I can pull up long strips of it after an event and attach them to the steel fire wall on the backside of the proscenium. There, behind the main curtain it's out of sight and know one is aware it exists - providing me with a ready backup source of gaff tape if I happen to find myself without any.

I can often find similar hiding places at some venues I frequent.
