black tape

I responded earlier to this tape topic- but don't know if you all got the info. I work in film (primarily commercials) and we use a tape called "gaff" tape. It comes in black, gray and white. Fairly expensive (between 18.00 -40 bucks a roll) and is the GOD of all tapes- it is cloth based and used for its strength and ease of use and adhesive abilities. If it's good enough on a commercial film set I assume it's good enough on a still pinhole camera.
As I stated earlier- your local motion picture equipment supplier should carry it- or try Grace and Wild studios at 248-471-6010- ask for equipment rental.
