[Elecraft] OT - Gaffers Tape

[Kurt Pawlikowski]

Harry,

     I've found that, for most applications, painter's tape works well. 
While not the strength of gaffer's tape (it "rates" about the same as 
masking tape), a few extra layers, when needed, usually works. The 
advantage is that it's more readily available and costs less. It doesn't 
seem to leave any residue, even after having been in place for weeks. I 
don't know if it's water-proof, but it doesn't disintegrate when wet 
either. Just an alternative to consider.


     Regards,
