Re: Roll Repair Table
By Terry Smythe

John, yes, you are correct that I overlap repair tape and slice off the excess with a steel rule and X-Acto knife. I agree that care has to be taken not to overdo it. A shortcoming does emerge from this process in that the base board becomes progressively damaged from the knife edge cuts and needs to be replaced. I'm wondering if anyone has found a more durable cutting surface that can better withstand repeated cuts from the X-Acto knife.

Any chance that photos of your roll repair device might be made available as an on-line graphic? If you don't have access to a scanner, perhaps you can mail photos to me and I'll scan them for all.

Regards, Terry
