Sources for hinge-tape & light seals for Film holders ?

[Luddite Frank]

I need to repair some older film holders...

Can anyone recommend sources for :

Hinge-Tape for the loading-end

Felt / velvet for light seals at the dark-slide end



Thanks...

I've used gaff tape with success to fix a holder. The thinner type. As to felts, I can't help there.

I can't help with felt, but I have had good success with using black hockey tape for hinges.

I think Micro-Tools might have felt and copper comb for light seals. I know I've seen it somewhere.

Bookbinding tape is also suitable for the flaps. Remember the tape doesn't need to be lightproof and usually isn't. The tape just holds the flaps in place, and the flap forms a light seal by meshing with the body of the holder. You can find bookbinding supplies at www.talas-nyc.com

Would this guys stuff be any help to you? He got a seal kit to me in Montana in 3 days tops. I was impressed.
