NOOOoooooo...... Masking tape is EVIL! Especially the cheap kind. So many people use it for marking up cases and desks etc. WHITE ELECTRICAL TAPE + PERM. MARKER. Others use it for marking sets - SPIKE TAPE PEOPLE. I can see no other use for masking tape - except for set painting (when you need to mask whilst painting... and then you are better off using the expensive stuff.
HA! Now that I think of it, I haven't used masking tap since I was in middle school. Gaff is almost the simplest sign to determine if you're a 'theater person' or not. Once asked a roadie for some gaff because my shoe broke and he looked at me curious how the hell I knew what gaff was.
