How many still use gaffer tape?

I know many of you are getting into hydro dipping, buying turkey guns already camoed, but what about those with blued barrels, or even shiny barrels from the really old guns.

I've used different kinds of tape, and I finally settled on gaffer's tape several years ago.  Last year, I tried the athletic grip tape in camo, I don't wrap the stock, just the shiny parts, that tape didn't like the odd contours of the model 12, and I certainly didn't like trying to wrap almost the whole gun of the 1100 or A5.

I'm not much into the gun socks that slide over the whole gun.  A ghillie I use for the rifle, doesn't work well with carrying a gun for long distances, too much sliding for me.  I just don't think I want to rust blue my old guns, I'm supposed to purposely rust my guns, ummm, no.  It looks like it could work well, but .....

What else have y'all used that worked?
Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind and soul.  Love others as yourself.

Let us be silent, so we hear the whisper of God.

No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.

I've used camo tape on a bps upland for what seems like forever, worked great. I am unfamiliar with gaffers' tape, but it sounds like it works just as well for your purpose. I used to tape up the gun prior to season, then remove immediately after. Only concerns I ever had was getting caught in rain and getting moisture collecting under tape and causing rust.

Primos Gun Skin works and leaves no residue if you ever decide to remove it later...

Vet wrap can be used as well. Today with all the gun options seems silly not to have an at least matte finish turkey gun which is all you'd need.
