Tape for Toyo-View cut film holder hinge

[Toyon]

I need to replace the tape on some Toyo-View 4x5 holders. It looks like Toyo used some kind of synthetic fiber tape or cloth to affix the hinges. Ordinary sticky tape doesn't hold up at higher temps. Anyone find the right tape for this? I would much appreciate your suggestions.

hi toyon

i've never seen a toyo holder
but i use book repair ( book binder's repair ) tape
to repair hinges on all the film holders i have. ( fidelity, lisco, assorted others )
not sure where you are located, in the states a variety of places that sell library products sell it
gaylord brothers (gaylord.com ) as well as talas ( talasonline.com ), probably university products. ( universityproducts.com )
if you are outside of the states you can probably find it by googling "bookbinding supplies" ...
and find something in your neck of the woods.
