Default 4X5 film holders

where I can buy this tape to repair these holders. Thanks.

Gaffers tape.

I have never had to replace the tape, but I have only been using 4x5 since
about 1975. The original is much like the old "friction tape" that
electricians used to use. Perhaps the reason I no longer see that kind of
tape on the market is because electric codes probably do not permit splicing
wires anymore. You should use it all in one run, and any connections seem to
be made with wire nuts inside junction boxes.

Stuff like duct tape are too thick and I suspect too stiff to use with
pleasure; i.e., they would be annoyingly stiff.
