How to repair a torn cover

[waitingtoderail]

Nice video, but should make a disclaimer that this should not be done on rare or valuable materials. See the Northeast Document Conservation Center's Preservation Leaflet 7.3 for more information.

I didn't know that this type of repair tape existed. The repairs I've seen on most older library materials were done using scotch tape! Sometimes, the repair was done years ago, and they used the stuff that yellows and peels. This "document repair tape" that you have demonstrated here appears to do a much better job. The fact that it becomes nearly transparent is definitely a plus.
