Lineco, Archival Document Repair Tape, 1 Inch x 35 Feet, Acid-Free Translucent, for Repairs Paper, Ephemera, Photos, Print and Artwork, Pack of 1

Great product to repair tears in delicate papers. It’s useful to me for repairing Bible pages, vintage papers, letters, old family paper treasures/mementos and things like that. I will repurchase as neeeded, but it seems to go a long way if you are careful. The tape adheres well without damaging the document.

This is wonderfully useful, and I am only sorry that I wasn't aware of its existence until recently I have a number of hundred-year-old music magazines that are getting tattered on the edges and need reinforcement to tolerate page turning. The tape has done very well. Other options such as acid-free book tape are sturdy enough but are very thick and don't lend themselves to this kind of use. I bought a big roll and I'm certainly glad that I did.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I needed a good quality tape to repair a book separation. This tape is very sheer, but still shows if you wonder about it. Has a very good adhesion to the item. Feels very strong when applying it. Used on an old cookbook I've owned for 48 years and love the result.

The tape worked great for some repairs I needed to do on an old photograph. The only complaint I have is it is VERY hard to get the backing started to peel it off, there might be a trick to it I dont know yet so maybe.... the tape itself is great though and blends itself in which is nice.

Despite my efforts to instill a reverence for books, my young kids pay absolutely zero regard for maintaining their state of completeness. Luckily, this tape does a great job of hiding their crimes, so to speak. Is it perfect? No. But it does quite a good job and its certainly fine for my purposes. A few notes: Especially with thinner pages, the adhesive is quite potent so take extra care when placing on delicate substrates. It's not perfectly transparent, but by lightly buffing with a bone folder (or any similar tool) I've been able to improve the opacity such that the underlying ink is far more discernible. The box dispenser mechanism (made of paper) is a bit fiddly, so I've improved it by using clear scotch/sello tape to keep it from coming apart. I've also taped some of the backer paper to the box so that it's easier to un-stick when pulling the tape off for another piece. With these improvements, this product is much more pleasant to use.

I could not find myself happier with this tape for it is nothing but a true gift for those who need highly reliable, yet beautiful mending tape for paper! 🥰🌈 Not only does it mend torn book pages, it elegantly mends old sewing pattern pieces on a fragile thin paper with ease and involves no messing with a glue or tedious glue marks left behind - just remove the backing paper, place the thin, yet strong tape onto the torn part, and polish it carefully - to then have the item as new! 💪⭐ I used an inexpensive natural polished agate coral stone for working the tape onto the paper, and it worked wonderfully for this very purpose, no need for expensive speciality tools at all, so I would highly recommend it to everyone! 🥰🌞

Other than being hard to peel off from the backing the tape is excellent

This tape holds in my tip-ins inside my Bible and bonus - I can write on it. It does leave a slight haze on the paper (it is not fully clear). The only issue is how hard it is to pull the tape from the backing at first. It takes a minute or two to get the setup started using the package as a dispenser. First, I have to slowly peel the sticker off the bottom of the package, then unflap the small piece with the instructions on it before unflapping the large bottom. Unroll part of the tape and put it back in the box while part of the tape is sticking out near where the small box flap is. Close the bottom of the box with part of the tape sticking out. Separate the tape from the backing and then lay the backing across the bottom and close the small flap. (Use a small piece of the tape to seal the flap.

I did a lot of reading on archival/document repair tape before blindly diving in and buying the first thing that caught my eye, and this appeared to be one of the best products out there for my needs. The tape is very impressive and worth the money. I have read and seen reviews on various websites stating how difficult it is to remove this tape from its backing. To be fair, it can be pretty tricky - but you're also not dealing with Scotch Tape here. This tape is thin like rice paper (maybe thinner) and needs to be more protected. There are several ways to remove this tape, including: bending a small corner to loosen the tape from the backing, using your fingernails or a knife. I discovered my own method of removing it, and I would suggest to anyone purchasing this tape to practice with a small piece of it first to see what method works best for you. Like anything else in life, you need to practice before getting the hang of it. This tape is not completely invisible, but then again no tape is. If you're using the tape to repair dust jackets or one-sided documents, then I would suggest making the repairs on the reverse side of these things so that no tape is visible from the front. I have already tested this on one dust jacket and one document, and repairing from the opposite side only works exceptionally well. This product is definitely worth the money, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe way to repair documents and other paper related items.

Material excelente para restaurar papel, delgado pero resistente. Muy bueno de verdad

Great material and super fast delivery without extra EC costs.

Mooi product, doet wat het zegt.

Ordered Dec 27th, arrived Jan 9th....Hmmm. No harm done, but 15 days from Canada to Canada! I wasn't expecting a quick delivery over the holiday season anyway and didn't need it immediately....not expedited, regular shipping. But, I ordered something from New York on Dec 28th and it was at my door on Dec 30th...also not expedited, and that had to cross a border. Why such a difference? Just curious. Used the product (archival tape) to repair some minor tears and secure the edges of some works-on-paper (drawings, stone lithographs and mixed media work...etc.)
