Let's talk about tape — not the kind that you record on, but the kind that's sticky. Or actually, the kind that's sort of sticky — tape that's used to mount, attach, or repair things, but doesn't leave a sticky residue.
Years ago in "Gear Geeking" [Tape Op #65], I recommended Pearl Paint Flatback Tape as an affordable, zero-residue paper tape for temporarily labeling gear and attaching things (gobos to each other, mics into clips, cables onto floor, etc.). Unfortunately, Pearl is no longer in business. These days, I use ProTapes Artist Tape that I purchase from Amazon. It too leaves zero residue when you remove it, and it comes in a bajillion colors. With higher edge-shear resistance than standard masking tape, you can use it to tack things together, but it's still easy to tear off lengths with your fingers. When you're done with it and you peel it off your gear, it leaves nothing behind — but the tape remains sticky, so you can reuse it later. For example, I use a long strip of Artist Tape to label the faders on my console. At the end of the session, I peel off the tape and attach it to the side of one of my racks. When I recall that session for overdubs or for mixing, I take that same piece of tape and put it back on my console.
