Found: tape for film holder repair
We've discussed the subject of what tape to use to repair film holders
here before. (That's the tape used to hold the light seal hinges to the holder.) While there are other materials that will work well here, I found something locally that I'm going to use on my film holders. It's a book repair tape made for taping the spines of bound books: http://www.gaylord.com/adblock.asp?abid=915 It's cotton, comes in black, and comes in rolls with a release liner, making it easy to cut and apply. I tried a sample piece, and it sticks to wood really well. It's also expensive: almost $40 a roll. Fortunately I can buy the couple of feet I need from a local bookbinder. That's where I'd look for the stuff if you want to use it. -- Found--the gene that causes belief in genetic determinism |

Of similar note from Light Impressions: Black linen tape, described to be good for bookbinding http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.co...on?itemId=1471 Tyvek tape, also described to be good for bookbinding. No black, so perhaps the tape can be inked/painted black afterwards http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.co...ion?itemId=405 |

It just should be long lasting and not pull off by mistake. The light tightness is determined by the geometry of the parts, not the opacity of the tape. -- .~.
