List:
Gaffers tape is different, designed to hold very well but to no pull up what it
is applied to(wallpaper, etc.) since many times movie shooting locations are
actually rented but not owned locations and the film crew does not want to do
any permanent damage.? In a high school class about film making a movie
industry employee told our class that gaffers tape had been used to tape a
piano to the wall, off the floor.
YMMV, or maybe more appropriately, DTTAH.(Dont try this at home.)

AKA:
duct tape
duck tape (arguably the original name, because it was waterproof)
race tape
racer's tape
100-mile-per-hour tape
tear-off tape
rigger's tape
gaffer's tape (although actual motion-picture gaffers say their tape is
somewhat
different)
