Pro-Gaff® Black Gaffer Tape 24mm x 22.8m

It's made by Pro Tapes in the USA from cotton cloth with a synthetic rubber adhesive, and contains no PVC. The cloth tears by hand across the length and the width, conforms to uneven surfaces and takes pens and markers, so it doubles as a label on cases, cable ends and desk strips. Le Mark describes the adhesive as residue-resistant when the tape is removed correctly from suitable surfaces; results vary with the surface and how long it stays down, so test first and lift it once the job is done.
