    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between gaffa (gaffer) tape and standard duct tape?

    While often confused, they serve different purposes. Gaffa tape features a heavy cotton cloth backing; it is highly durable, easy to tear by hand, and specifically designed to be removed cleanly without leaving a sticky adhesive residue behind. Duct tape typically has a polyethylene-coated backing and a much more aggressive adhesive, making it better for permanent, water-resistant plumbing or site repairs, but it will leave a heavy residue if removed.

    What makes Gorilla branded tapes stronger than standard repair tapes?

    Gorilla Tape utilizes a specialized triple-layer construction. It features a double-thick adhesive layer that fills in gaps on rough, uneven surfaces (like brick or timber), a tough reinforced fabric backing for structural sheer strength, and a rugged, weather-resistant outer shell to withstand harsh outdoor elements.

    Can I use standard electrical insulation tape to fix a damaged live wire?

    No. While professional insulation tape (PVC tape) is designed to insulate minor low-voltage splices and color-code electrical phases, it should never be used as a permanent repair for damaged mains cables or exposed live wires. For safe, compliant electrical repairs, always replace the damaged section of cable or utilize properly rated heat-shrink tubing and terminal connectors.
