5.0 out of 5 stars The PERFECT tape for my record 'jackets'!, July 25, 2009

By

This review is from: Scotch® Book Tape 845, 2 Inches x 15 Yards (Office Product)

When I was much younger I used to wonder where the library got the thick, clear tape they put on the edges of 'perfect bound' softcover books. I thought it would be ideal to use on my record album 'jackets' to keep them from deteriorating into illegibility on their spines.

I finally made the all-important 'connection' when I spied a library 'intern' applying this tape to some books behind the checkout desk. She told me that this tape doesn't dry out, yellow and crack like all other kinds of clear tapes and that it's especially designed for the "long-run". That was almost thirty years ago and I've been using 3M's 845 'Book Tape' THAT long on my record album jackets with TOTAL success!

I have hundreds of LP record album jackets that I've used the 2 inch wide tape on and they're still clear and perfectly readable after all these years! Some of my albums that I used other 'clear' tapes have utterly failed the test of time, the various other types and brands disintegrating into crumbling bits of brittle opaque flakes over the years. But not ANY that I used this 3M tape on!!!

So, if you want THE 'perfect' clear tape to protect your record jacket edges and keep them readable for decades, use THIS tape! There are other widths available, but the two inch wide seems to be the best for the record album jackets. Most highly recommended!

And, yes, I also use it to protect and preserve the edges of most of my 'perfect-bound' paperback books too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for paperback books, August 7, 2009

This review is from: Scotch® Book Tape 845, 4 Inches x 15 Yards (Office Product)

I never knew about this product until I saw a librarian at the school use it. It's great for paperbacks where the covers are starting to separate from being read too many times. If you have the 4 inch wide tape you can run it down the spine & it folds over to protect the fold for the front and back covers. It stays pliable and works great.
