what are the specs of the tape and glue? remember that using a

We repaired tape with contact glue and rubout tape punched on an ASR33.
I guess it would depend on whether you were repairing paper, fiber or
mylar material though whether the adhesive would work or not.
I have a box of the repair material somewhere, but I suspect the
adhesive would be useless with the material. Better to manufacture your
own with Williams suggestion, or a simpler one like mine. BTW, we only
used this method with tapes to be read on an ASR33. We didn't have high
speed machines.
You can use scotch tape sometimes on units with optical readers, and
dupe the tape from what you read if you need to have a copy w/o a break
in it.
