A moment of silence to honor and respect the inventor of Gaff Tape. I'm serious. Duct tape ain't shit, you just didn't know there was something better... at $20 a roll, it ain't cheap, but will change your life

There’s not many people who can say they changed the TV, Film, and roadie industry, but Ross Lowell left an everlasting mark as creator of one of the most versatile pieces of equipment on any set.

Whether it’s wrapping cables together, holding something down or simply leaving a visual cue for actors to hit their marks, Gaffer Tape is the Swiss army knife of any set

In 1979, he received a Technical Achievement Oscar

  1. Great stuff! He left his mark by not leaving a mark (tape residue) :)
