Cloth tape for wood film holders?

[Roger Thoms]

Here's another product that works well, Filmoplast T. http://apps.webcreate.com/ecom/catal...roductID=21116

The thing I like about Filmoplast T is that it has a paper release backing so that it is easy to cut to size before installing on the holder.

You can also use black silk binding tape available from Freestyle. That is working fine for me. Clean the surfaces of the holder before applying the tape. After applying the tape trim it to fit the recesses in the holder with a razor blade. I cleaned the holder surfaces with MEK but it took off paint as well. I repainted the holder with some flat black before taping.

I used gaffer's tape to repair a couple of 4x5 wooden holders. It worked great and I have lots of gaffer's tape left over if I have to do more. Black duct tape would probably work just as well. No need to get crazy with exotic stuff for this job. Really.
