Please do not use these. I have seen edge damage on incoming tapes when
these are forced over an uneven wind.
Tape the end of the tape to the outside flange of the reel (or to itself
in a pancake. If you can still find Zebra Tape, that is the best
choice--someone dug up a five-to-ten year supply for me but it's all
gone from that source.
The red and blue crepe-y tape isn't bad.
Scotch 811 removable "Magic" tape works reasonably well for something
that is easy to get at a stationary store.
Cheers,
Richard
