The width of the original tape is about .330". Although gaffer's tape is a very close substitute, that width is simply not available.
So..... Creative lathing ensues. Place roll of three inch gaffer's tape in the lathe and set up a new razor blade in the tool holder.... Look at that nice clean cut. It's the dark one that's barely visible. 90 rpm and the blade cut in neatly. Now I have some tape to work on Byron's /6 harness. Attached thumbnail(s) |

When I did my loom I got the correct tape here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251808817142?_tr...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It's the correct tape, far cheaper per roll than gaffer tape and you don't need a lathe either..:-) Just search Tesa tape |
