I had an old automatic 35mm camera that I loved using as a kid that apparently cost my parents a pretty penny back in the 80s. I had dropped it at one point and broke the clip that holds the film door closed on the back of the camera. This clip also engaged the locking mechanism that loaded the film and indicated to the camera when the cartridge was removed to clear then"exposed" indicator from the screen on the camera.
I did buy a replacement camera once upon a time at a yard sale, but I just had such fond memories of this camera, and was familiar with the kinds of pictures it took that I wanted to get it going again if possible.
I was able to see that manually moving the door latch switch to the closed position would keep it there, and the camera would go through the film loading process, and I could see that the camera was still able to auto focus and the shutter was functioning normally. My only issue was how to keep the door of the camera closed once I had film loaded. The last thing I wanted was to have a situation where whatever tape I used would lose its stick and the door would pop open exposing the film in the camera.
I considered electrical tape first but in my experience, it doesn't stand up to constant handling and the adhesive melts from body heat making a mess everywhere. Not only would this most likely cause the tape to fail and the door to open, it would probably leave the camera a sticky mess.
Then I thought about duct tape. We all know the saying, if it doesn't move and it should, WD-40, if it moves and it shouldn't, Duct Tape. But I've had similar issues with the adhesive on duct tape failing after some time, and it definitely leaves behind residue.
My biggest reasoning for worrying about residue is that if I wanted to use this camera more than one or two times, I'd need the surface of the camera to remain pretty free of residue so tape can continue sticking to the surface each time I load a roll of film.
Then I had the realization of Gaff tape. No residue, great stick. But then I saw the prices of Gaff tape which was crazy out of my budget. For the prices I saw, it may have been better to just deal with removing the residue from something like duct tape and hope to not have any tape failures while film was loaded.
Then I came across this Gaff tape. I saw some very mixed reviews about it and saw some people mention a possible formulation change in the adhesive through the years. But at the price for the roll, and knowing I won't be using very much at a time, I decided to go for it and to just do a dry run first before putting any film in the camera.
This tape worked perfectly as I'd hoped. In my dry run I made sure to wear the camera around my neck so it got bumped around throughout the day. I put it in and out of my bag. I made sure to hold the camera and mess around with it. The adhesive never melted or gave out. I had it on for about 3 or so days before deciding to pull it off and go live with actual film and not a single bit of residue was left behind on the body of the camera. For context it is made out of plastic and there is texture on some parts where the tape was placed. This even ends up covering the tripod mounting hole that I don't use anyway and the tape never lifted.
I can't necessarily speak to this being used in the field for Gaffing purposes but I can say without a doubt that this tape delivered exactly as I'd hoped and I'm beyond happy with my purchase. I've shot 2 rolls of film in this camera with no issues, and I even dropped it once while it was taped and the tape didn't give way. When I run out I will definitely be purchasing this again.

This Does Not Age Well
"No Residue"?? Have a look at the photos. Now this is after a year in the closet, so if you use it right away I believe that it is OK. But do not try to store this tape. It was completely unusable, the adhesive turned to sticky gum and I could not even peel it. I had to throw away what you see in the photos, and use Goof-Off solvent on my fingers.Of course this also raises the question of, if you tapa something up with this and leave it for a year, what happens...? Well, the description says "For temporary use; not meant to be left on surfaces for extended periods of time"...Now, the description says "Once opened and removed from packaging, the tape should be stored in a cool, dry place". I had mine in a cool, dry closet. So perhaps you should store this in the refrigerator -- although I don't know whether that would cause moisture buildup.So I guess the only solution is to order it a week or less before you intend to use it, and then use it up fully. Treat it as you would a food product and maybe you will not be disappointed.

First package came empty, the tape apparently escaped through the side of the bag. Second time was a charm. Full blackout tape. Sticks well, so well that small pieces stick. No residue that I’ve noticed. I use this tape for many things, but most recently I’ve used it to cover LEDs, it’s complete blackout. If you love yourself, but this for the sole purpose of blacking out every LED that haunts you. Please excuse my filthy power tap, a coffee maker loves beside it.GreatT. Budzey
