I use one of the smutty Tabloids. I think they use what's known here as "butcher's tape", the wide brown paper tape that butchers use to wrap packages of meat... or used to before cellophane and foam trays. Newspaper isn't usually thick enough, even the smutty tabloid kind. >What do you use:-) See above. It's thin and gummed on one side and a strip can hang on your lip until you need it. My centre pin case has masking tape cut into strips on it for emergencies, but butcher's tape is easier and doesn't leave any residue.
