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. :)

Oddly, was just told by my TD to use masking tape to cover up rough edges on wood . . .
no other tape would meet with her approval.
There is always a use for something.

I've been using masking tape to put labels on coffee mugs for rehearsals. Hey, it's lying around anyway, right?

And so much cheaper than disposable cups!

So I just finished reading this entire thread and got some really great ideas! A couple of you mentioned contacting manufacturers to see if they will send you free samples which I think is a great idea and would love to start doing. One person mentioned Ricola and I already sent them a message. Are there any other companies people have used before that I should contact? Thanks!
