📚 845 Scotch Book Tape - 4 Inches x 15 Yards Review

Fixed some frequently used books. Used in old books to read the message that members, often teenagers, read in worship each week. Members usually take home a book to practice with each week, so the books are used and thrown around a lot.

It is transparent like glass. The only problem for my aim is that it flies a bit on curved sections. I could probably fix that by notching the tucks on each layer and spreading them out evenly, but I didn't bother. For comparison, the first photo is without tape and the second has three layers.

I used to work in a school and befriended a librarian who taught me how to protect and repair books. This was the best advice I received for my investments - I have a lot of it!

Knowing the correct methods of applying masking tape helps, but if you have a favorite book (works best in paperback) or want to protect your children's books, you need this tape. Combined with several other tools, you can repair the most…
