Sick and tired of the sticky residue that your tape is leaving on your Holga? Well its probably because you are using Electrical tape and not gaffer tape. Electrical tape works just fine for keeping light leaks out and keeping the back of your Holga on, however after a few films worth of taping, it can start to get a little messy.
Residue can build fast and can be irritating. If you keep your Holga in your bag, you may find it gets covered in all sorts of dust and dirt because its stuck to the tape residue.
So the solution is easy. You need to use gaffer tape instead of electrical tape. Its slightly more expensive but will stop the problem completely.
I've not actually tried this yet, but a big thank you to our reader Mark for pointing this one out. It really is a top Holga tip!
