Common Applications & Trade Uses
Gaffer Tape vs. Duct Tape: Which One Do You Need?
Designed specifically for temporary fixes where clean removal is essential. Built with a matte, non-reflective cloth surface that tears easily by hand and won't leave sticky residue behind when pulled off cables or stage floors.
Made for permanent, aggressive bonding. Duct tape uses a glossier plastic film that leaves behind hard-to-clean rubber residue upon removal and can pull paint off surfaces when peeled back.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Nashua 357 gaffer tape leave sticky residue when peeled off?
No. Nashua 357 is engineered specifically to strip cleanly from stage floors, tiles, metal rigging, and cabling without leaving baked-on rubber residue, saving you cleanup time at the end of a shoot or event.
Is Nashua 357 waterproof for outdoor use?
Yes. The polyethylene (PE) coating over the woven cloth backing makes it highly water-resistant and suitable for outdoor motorsport pit lanes, damp construction sites, and rainy outdoor event setups.
Can I tear Nashua 357 by hand on the job?
Yes. Despite its extreme tensile strength, the woven cloth mesh allows riggers and technicians to tear pieces straight across or down the middle without needing knives.
