Crinkled tape

2005-02-19 by MAinPsych@aol.com

Hi, y'all.
 
Does anyone recall a previous posting some time back that outlines  how to 
iron out a crinkled tape?  I'm sure I saved it, but with upmteen  listings saved 
over the years in two different computers, it would probably take  the whole 
3-day weekend to find it, and it's just easier to ask  again.

I just found this in the archives. I hope it helps - it's from Jerry.

Small wrinkles on the tape can be carefully removed with
clothes-iron on LOWEST position and with GENTLE pressure atop
soft fabric surface. I tried this on an orig. "BBS" scrap tape
and it worked fine ! I don't think this will work on newer tapes
with matte and/or coloured surfaces
