Where do you buy gaffer tape with good price/quality ratio? ⤵️

You don’t ever buy the cheapest gaff tape. And no f**king duct tape. Never. Duct tape leaves residue, rips off paint and is, in general, awful.

Experience with Captitles:

Great software that does exactly what is needed, except for few features that are announced but to yet available. Keep up with the good work!
Natalino Bucci
Theatre Director
The app makes captioning an easy task, allowing us to caption more shows than ever before, it has brought a positive change for us (previously we were using PowerPoint). I highly recommend you give it a try!
Maria Pinto
Production
We have been using Captitles for a few months, and we're definitely going to stick with it. The import and translation features alone have saved us countless hours of work, and I'm looking forward to the other features that have been promised for the app (especially for the option to invite colleagues!)
Davide Franchi
Dramaturgist
The software experience was fantastic. It blew my mind.
