A while back I posted a request for any info on the availability of glue
for joining punched tape, e.g., to run a loop for the tape reader. There
were one or two helpful replies which mentioned commercially made
products, non of which are available in this country (N.Z).
Well, I had a blinding flash of commonsense and tried using white glue
(PVA woodwork glue) and it is the perfect answer. A small amount wiped
on the tape ends and then positioned makes a good strong join and dries
almost immediately.
I was just surprised that 1. I didn't think of it before, and 2. Someone
in the group surely must have known about or used it before.
Anyway, problem solved and 73 to all.
