(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, August 22, 2015 ) Sydney, New South Wales -- For over twenty years Scott Forrest has been a manager of hotels, bars, nightclubs and music venues and during this time he has worked with many musicians, sound and lighting engineers as well as road crew.

Scott mentioned that he noticed the roadies, and sound and lighting crews were always having problems with getting set up and then packing up at the end of the night.

Scott goes on to say, "Rarely a day or night would go by without an incident or problem occurring with our or their equipment. I employed a guy just to help the engineer's with setting up their lighting and sound equipment. And the problems were compounded the bigger, the bands were."

After watching the roadies and sound engineers ply their trade over the years, Scott found out three very interesting facts.

1. The roadies and sound and lighting technicians, were usually rushing around, running late or rather disorganized.
2. They had the habit of blaming someone else when things went wrong.
3. They never seemed to have the right tools at hand.

Now Scott is quick to say that not all stage crews (roadies) are like this but at some stage of the night most of them will fall into one of these categories.

Scott goes on to say that the first and second problems are due to, always waiting on someone or something and because they were waiting they became frustrated, which didn't help. With better organization this could be easily overcome

The third problem is the real problem.

In the entertainment and music industry, there is a lot of constructing and taking down of equipment. Unloading gear, putting together staging, lighting and sound gear and then packing it all up (staging, cables, lighting and sound equipment), it can be a massive job. But making it all safe, a bigger one.

The whole set up and pack up was taking a long time. Scott then realized what the problem was. They were using the wrong tool.

They were not using a proper gaffer’s tape.

Gaffer Tape has been used in the entertainment industry for years but for some unknown reason the roadies and stagehands Scott was watching, were using inferior taping products. It made securing cables and equipment a chore and when stripping off the tape, damaged equipment and left a sticky mess (which they, in turn had to clean). They were using a cheap duct tape instead.

Truth is, gaffer's tape and duct tape are completely different. Gaff tape is a professional tape that has some very special features.

While similar to, and frequently confused with duct tape or masking tape, it differs in both the composition of the backing, which is made with a fabric weave material blend, rather than the duct tapes straight vinyl or PVC plastic coat. The gaffer tape adhesive is different as well being more resistant to heat and water, and can be removed easily without harming the surface, which it was taped to.

To quote Scott "By using gaffer tape you are less likely to damage your walls, floors or expensive band equipment"

Scott used the information he gathered over the years; to engineer a new style gaffer's tape, called "Gaffers Tape Solutions". It's extremely strong yet can be easily torn by hand. It is both heat and waterproof and boasts a new stylish non-reflective surface.

On reviewing the tape, it feels strong and looks very nice. It's more expensive that duct tape but with that premium price come a tape that is strong, heat and water resistant and is heavy duty yet supple. It leaves no sticky residue when removed and most of all will not damage floors, walls or other surfaces when applied to.
