Document Repair Tape is an archival pressure sensitive paper repair tape, suitable for virtually invisible text repairs. The base tissue is a 100% Manilla fibre 8.5gsm material coated on one side only with an acid-free archivally approved Butyl-Acrylate "Acrylic" adhesive that contains a very small percentage of Dibutyl-phthalate plasticizer (to enable the tape to be pressure sensitive).
The pH of the material is between 7.0 and 7.5. Available in:
- 25mm x 30m rolls

Tears nicely to make a deckled edge when doing volume repairs - quicker than pasting kozo and waiting to dry.
Easy to use, looks as good as Kozo if you deckle the edges.
I found the backing a little tricky to get off, until I started paring off a corner of the backing tape, then it becomes easy.
Easier than using kozo as it saves having to paste it - have to reservce judgement till I can see how the long term performance is - but that will takwe a few years.
I have been repairing very old sheets of favourite music: torn, worn and stuck together with hideous sellotape. At least one piece will be nearly 100 years old as it was my uncle's when he was a boy. This repair tape is very fine and practically invisible. Hopefully the original music sheets will survive another 100 years.
