We also refer to it in the UK as gaffer tape. I think that is a reference from the film industry gaffer = head electrician.

Certainly on exhibitions I have worked on it is very much in evidence.

It's not that stretchy narrow tape used by electricians. It is used by plumbers, and has a bunch of other uses. It comes in 1" and 2" widths, as well as in many colors. Silver is the most common color. See picture below.

Beautiful examples PJ :P

I used to use it for my cymbalstands with my drumkit when I was on stage. One time the stage was actually too small for the five of us and the equipment. We decided that I set up my drumkit at the right hand background of the stage (left hand background for the spectators), so there was a stand with a crash cymbal at the extreme right of me, just at the edge. After a couple of minutes playing enthusiasticly, I wanted to play that cymbal and ....right....you notice, the stand tipped over the edge and fell on the floor with a big crash sound out of rhythm :lol: (maybe that's why they called those cymbals "crash" )I had another cymbal I could play so the gig went on. When we had a break I used the duct tape and the stand was secured to the floor. With the tape I could smash the cymbal even more. :) It never happened again

'Gaff" is also used to describe a "mistake." Duct tape is wonderful for fixing "Gaffs." :D

Errr..., pedantic I know, but I believe the word that means mistake is "gaffe" in Commonwealth English. I also think that the word for the hardware that some transvestites apparently use to hold their attributes in place is "gaff". I personally wouldn't want to use gaffer tape for *that* purpose tho', as I don't fancy a free bikini wax!

Commonwealth English? What's that :D ?

Another use I found was to make a golf bag out of it. I bound some plastic tubes together to hold the clubs, added a stand and strap and hey presto...
