Light switch yardstick trick
When you need to put on the spider, use a yardstick.

Re: Light switch yardstick trick
A piece of gaffer tape works well too.

Re: Light switch yardstick trick
What’s the difference between gaffer tape and duct tape? I’d never heard of gaffer tape before.

Re: Light switch yardstick trick
Fred, I have a small collection of vintage Yard Sticks that are more novelty than anything, but where are you buying wooden yardsticks that don't break when being bent??

Re: Light switch yardstick trick
Gorilla Tape is just as good as gaffers tape.
But too sticky to put on your light switch- use layers of wide 3M masking.....

Re: Light switch yardstick trick
Gaffers Tape also doesn't leave adhesive like duct tape does;comes up easily. Rips easily like duct tape, but its also more expensive. It's typically used to tie down wires to the floor or stage.

I realize this is WAY off topic, but where do you guys purchase 'real' Gaffer's tape? I need to find some place online because Gaffer's Tape sold local to me by a music box store is much akin to black duct tape that often leaves tape residue and the white grid pattern when I pull it off of monitors or cords.
