Roll repair Parts: Part A, B, C and D are non-bid items: Simply add them to your order.
Part A: Document Repair Tape: This is the repair tape that you should be using to repair your rolls! The tape is very thin and has a neutral pH. In other words it is acid free, with a stable acid free adhesive, so it will not damage your roll. It should protect your music roll and should not cause any of the problems associated with other tapes. It is 1/2” wide by 600”.
