Cherie and I were discussing the many kinds of tape today. I thought it was pretty funny. Seems like it’d be easier if everything was simple…
Cherie: what is gaff tape?
Mugsy: gaffer’s tape
Cherie: ich weiss es nicht…?
Mugsy: the black tape (looks like electrical tape) used to tape cords, and anything else, on a movie set
Cherie: oh
Cherie: it’s not called electrical tape?
Mugsy: electrical tape is slightly different
Cherie: how so?
Mugsy: it’s a lot more like cloth, and rips very easily (like a piece of cloth would, or duct tape does)
Cherie: ok
Cherie: so like that blue tape that is kinda like masking tape
Cherie: ??
Mugsy: that’s painting tape
Cherie: oh
Mugsy: it’s paper. gaff is cloth.
Cherie: so like hockey stick wrapping tape?
