Gaffer's tape generally leaves *less* residue, but it still leaves
something if left in place for a long time and/or under harsh conditions.
The contractors that come in to produce the A/V for our big meetings
at work use some even less-sticky wide cloth tape for bundling cables.
I forgot what they called it, though.
It's a shame that gaffer's tape is ten times the price of cheap duct
tape.
