This 20-pack of 1" x 55 yd roll of chroma green Gaffer Tape from Savage is a staple of any movie set or studio, and although called an expendable, it's an absolute essential. The tape has a cloth backing and polyethylene coating that's heat-resistant to 175° Fahrenheit for up to three hours. The combination of blended resin and natural rubber compound allows for strong adherence with no residue upon removal. Among its many uses are safely taping down cable on the floor, securing seamless paper rolls, and creating foam core constructions or any kind of temporary mounting in graphic arts.

Q: 9. Is the fabric transparent?

A: If the background is set up in front of a very bright light source, like a window on a sunny day, you may see some transparency. If that happens to me on location, I simply meter the ambient light and select an aperture/shutter speed combination which will work. Since the main light is coming from strobes, it is rare to have contamination from an ambient light source.
