This gummed cloth tape reinforces pamphlet spines, reattaches loose pages, and repairs torn covers without the bulk of pressure-sensitive alternatives. The fabric flexes with repeated opening and closing while maintaining its grip, essential for materials that get handled frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLineco manufactures this tape from acid-free linen that won't degrade or discolor adjacent pages over time. Apply it dry, then activate the gum with a damp sponge for precise placement before it sets. The scored construction creates clean, straight tears for hinging applications where you need the tape to fold crisply along spine edges. This controlled tearing eliminates the need for scissors and ensures consistent results across multiple repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBook conservators and archivists choose gummed linen tape for museum-quality repairs because it creates permanent bonds that remain reversible with moisture if needed later. The neutral pH protects valuable documents and artwork from the acidic deterioration that standard tapes cause. Whether you're rebinding journals, stabilizing antique pamphlets, or reinforcing frequently referenced materials, this tape handles structural repairs that need to last decades without compromising the integrity of what you're preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lineco","offers":[{"title":"1 in. x 36 in.","offer_id":47973653512421,"sku":"17124","price":10.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s17124.jpg?v=1761685430","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/products\/lineco-gummed-book-repair-tape","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
