Pro-Gaff® Black Gaffer Tape 48mm x 22.8m

Pro-Gaff is made in the USA with a cotton cloth backing and a synthetic rubber adhesive, and contains no PVC. It tears by hand across the length and the width, unwinds smoothly, conforms to irregular surfaces and takes pens and markers. Le Mark describes the adhesive as residue-resistant: it's designed to minimise adhesive transfer when removed correctly from suitable surfaces, though results depend on the surface, the conditions and how long it's down. Test on a small area first and lift it as soon as it's no longer needed. It copes well with moisture for indoor and temporary outdoor work but isn't a permanent waterproof sealing tape.
