A New Gaffer Power YouTube Video Is Helping People Understand The Difference Between Gaffer Tape & Duct Tape

Gaffer tape vs. duct tape and what is the difference between the two is a question that is asked often. Most people don’t know and this can cause problems during DIY jobs and professional settings, such as film sets and photography studios. WebGage Commerce Inc., highly successful retailers of the Gaffer Power brand, have just released a new YouTube video which clearly explains the difference between these two products. Spokesman for the company Marty Gagnon discussed this new clip in a recent interview:

“One of the most common questions we get is 'what is the difference between gaffer tape and duct tape and can they be used interchangeable?' This new video illustrates the visual and practical differences between the products so that consumers can select the right product for the job they are undertaking. We hope that this informative video will help to clarify any confusion and make DIY projects and professional settings much easier to manage.”

Gaffer tape comes in a range of colors and has a matte finish, while duct tape is reflective and available only in black and gray. The matte finish has an important advantage because it doesn’t interfere with lighting. This is critical when working in photographic studios, film sets or other locations where the quality of light is vital.

Another key difference between gaffer tape and duct tape is that gaffer tape is easily removed when no longer needed. It peels away from the surface without leaving any sticky residue. Duct tape on the other hand is very difficult to remove and it can damage surfaces.

This new informative video can be viewed in full on the Gaffer Power YouTube Channel. Also available are plenty of other short, informative clips that demonstrate the wide range of uses for gaffer tape.
