I fold and unfold my larger maps a lot (while traveling) thus the fold intersections weaken & tear. Would this tape repair and keep my maps together?

Yes I think this would work and as already mentioned, it doesn't yellow or crack easily as it is conservation standard. The only thing is that this tape is going to be a bit thicker then normal tape, so you will have to make your folds carefully and plan them etc as this tape will make them a bit more 'bulky', but I would think it may be worth it for the longevity it should add to the maps.

Yes, this tape should work well for this use and since it is acid-free, it will take many years for it to yellow if it yellows at all.

Gordon, I am no expert in repairing or maintaining maps but I have used Scotch Tape for that purpose and been satisfied with the results. I press the transparent tape down well to let the lines of the map show up well. Over time, some tape does yellow and may dry out a bit in a hot car, so I suggest that you try the tape on an inexpensive map and see if you like the results. I hope my answer helps.

I have used the Scotch Book Tape to secure folded edges that open and close frequently and it has held up well.

I am using it to reinforce the sides of a page that will have notebook holes in it. While it seems very durable I am not sure how much folding and unfolding it will take. However, it is relatively inexpensive and would certainly give your maps a longer life. Hope this helps. Good luck. Linda

I believe this should repair the seat portion of your swing. I used it to repair my backpack and haven't had to put much weight on it. The tape is about 2" and the length is &gt;10" so it would work if it is not a load bearing patch (in other words it not the main thing holding the seat together)

Yes! Yes! A 100 times yes! I have never had much luck with double stick tape - my issue is button front blouse gaping - these strips work wonderfully well. I never even think about the gaping once they are applied. I have had no issues with fabric damage of any kind - I rub them right off before tossing in laundry.

I found that if you keep the bags folded when you store them, they keep the fold lines and its fairly easy to follow them. Kinda like folding a map. If that doesn't work, I guess you could fold them almost any way you wanted as long as the Velcro lined up. The pocket, it's for anything you aren't worried about falling out, it's a little useless.

Yes. I just have it folded over and it stays pretty much all the way down (just fold and crease along the seam) but it also has an adhesive strip that you can use/reuse to seal it down

Yes. It works better if the edges are weighted down. The cover works well and is very easy to fold and store once you practice a couple of times. Good value.

I think if they are disassembled a many times, they will not fold up as tightly as originally, so yes, quality will be compromised.

It's prob an old roll of tape. I've never had that problem. Just return that tape and buy another pack.

If the material the maps are made from is not to thick you should be able to place them back to back and clamp them.

I honestly do not know. I used it to hold carpet strips on stairs and it works great. I have not had to replace any of the tape yet and these stairs get heavy use daily. It has been holding for several months now. Try to contact the manufacturer for more help. I hope I was able to help you.

I have used these laminates quite extensively, and I do not believe that you will be able to fold the items after lamination. I do keep many items in binders and the laminates hold up well as far as punching holes. As I answered this question, I am folding one of my laminations and it does not crease well and rebounds to the open position when let go. Markum

Simple answer: yesAny bend or fold will work - provided that one takes care to avoid making a fold that would cause an LED to detach from the strip.A "test fit" of the strip, before actually installing it, should make it easy enough to decide where folds will be.The strip could be marked with a Magic Marker™.The adhesive strip might not stick well to some surfaces.Make sure the surface is clean and dry.If the strip does not adhere adequately ... tape, glue, stapes, tacks or clips may be used - so long as care is taken to avoid damaging the strip.

It will not fold unless you take it off. Not a deal breaker for me since the adapter is so light I can easily store it to the side.

We also had a tear in our liner, used the tape but it lifted within 24 hours. Good luck.

It secures the posters with rubber grips that pinch the poster with"teeth". It has not damaged my laminated map, but it might damage more delicate material.I would estimate that the map it holds right now weighs 3 pounds.

When I start, the first 2-3 inches of the tape fold in a bit unevenly, but I just manually fold and iron that part. The rest is fine. I've made yards of continuous beautiful tape with less than straight cuts using this device (and the bigger 2" device). I guess my only suggestion is to go slowly like the other reviewer mentioned and make sure your fabric is truly cut on the bias. I've also only used 100% cotton quilting fabric or cotton flannel for my tape. Maybe different material doesn't produce as nice of a tape?

Absolutely will work for attaching items to a laminated map. I can tell you though if it is in a hot area it will not hold on a verticle surface.
