Senior moment: I meant duct tape. Gaffer's tape is heavier & more
expensive, also less sticky, term from the photog's assistant (gaffer, I
believe) who used it to tape down cables and such at a shoot. So it's
STRONG, but as noted less sticky because it has to come off. Duct tape is
supposed to NEVER come off, and so sticky it's used by criminals to
immobilize crime victims.
