Title: Reel Strip tape, what to use Post by: IFFV68 on July 12, 2010, 05:47:20 PM What is the best way to put both ends of a reel strip together.
Does anyone make such a product? Title: Re: Reel Strip tape, what to use Post by: StatFreak on July 12, 2010, 06:41:18 PM You can use a thin strip of double-sided scotch tape. Personally, I don't use anything unless the strips are unusually noisy or the gap is noticeable and bothers me, in which case I use the scotch tape.

Pull of what you need then cut in half lengthwise.

I do agree with Stat, I only use it when the reels are noisy though, for the most part, I just "snap" them on.

What's the best way to line these up and keep them tight enough to not "slide" on the reel after lots of spins?
Title: Re: Reel Strip tape, what to use Post by: CaptainHappy on July 23, 2010, 07:52:26 AM This is what I use.. Scotch Poster Tape... You can find it anywhere such as Walmart, Walgreens, office supply stores, etc. It is relatively inexpensive and it works really well. I cut the appropriate length strip into 3 thin pieces as you do not need much. It goes on and off very easliy as it has a peel off paper liner on one of the sticky sides.

Anyway, I originally bought it from an art supply store to mount photos with, but it's pretty permanent stuff so use it sparingly on the strips. It holds tight with just a couple of 1/4" X 1/4" pieces and the strips can be changed out that way without damaging them.

the edge of the strip where it touches the reel basket. I mean "tiny"...you want it just to hold but easy enough to just peel off with your fingers should you decide to change strips later on. |
