Can you recommend a place in Hawaii to buy gaffers tape? I checked City Mill, but they didn't have it. I don't think Wal-Mart does either.
Any favorite brands?
Thanks in advance

Woo hoo, I finally found some gaffer's tape locally. A nice guy at Hawaii Media Inc. went out of his way sell me a single roll. Thanks dude!

Sorry MJ, I know of at least 4 stores and five friends in LA to get gafftape from, but nobody here. Hawaii Media? I can't wait to check them out! Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the suggestion, Dick. Do you buy in bulk or a single roll at a time? The $22 shipping to Hawaii is killer (they don't seem to have a surface option).
What differences do you notice between Permacell's professional grade tape and their economic p-665 one? Have you tried other brands?
Hawaii Media sold me a Rose Brand (generic, I'm guessing) roll called "Pro-Gaff" (looks like they're trying to copy Permacell's name). It cost $20 for 2"x60yrd. The quality looks good enough to my non-professional eyes. I guess you can't tell until you put it through some serious use.
I can't wait to check them out! Thanks for the tip!
Heh. I'm glad I can help feed your gaffer's tape fix. Do you have opinions about any specific brands?

HMI is a film equipment rental company in Halawa Valley, TG. They also provide grip and electrical crews. They're not a retail store.
Great group of guys, tho'. I've been working with most of them for decades.
I usually wait until I have to order several items before ordering from Adorama, or any other mainland outlet (music supplies, etc.). I generally buy just one roll which last quite a while. Since it's not cheap masking tape, I use it sparingly.
