The official splicing tape I've seen is in little squares with all holes punched (probably covers 9 or 10 characters on the tape. I may still have some somewhere, but it was trasparent tape so the crack between the ends of the 2 bits of paper tape you were joining would confuse most optical treaders. In the end I would run out a bit of all-holes tape (the Facit 4070 punch I use has a switch for this!), cut off a bit and stick that over the join using paper glue (a Prit Stick or equivalent works OK for splices that don't have to last too long) -tony
