[edit] General Information
Spike tape is used to create a stage marking called a spike. Good quality gaffers tape uses a synthetic rubber adhesive that does not leave a residue when removed from the stage. Spike tape's thin width means that it can be quickly torn by hand, and its tight weave of cotton fibers allows for straight tearing without stretching. In addition to creating spike marks in performance areas, spike tape also makes a good material for bundling, decorating and labeling.
[edit] Unique Spike Tape Products
Spike tape "corners" are pre-die cut 90° spike pieces. This is especially helpful for placement of wagons, flats and furniture pieces.
