This stuff isn't cheap. 2" is $13.75/60yd roll. 3" is $26/60yd roll.

Those prices are actually pretty good. I've seen 2" gaff tape selling for about $17 per roll. Grainger has 2" black or silver; their part numbers are 1P089 and 6A066, respectively. The list price is a whopping $29.95 per 60 yd roll!
To get other colors and sizes, and probably better prices, local theatre supply houses are your best bet. Ask someone in your community college drama department where they get it.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
