Travelling Papers (was:String Breakage (Reply)

[David ilvedson]

Packing tape, probably exactly the same as butcher's tape.  I 
precut it and keep it in a Fuji film canister (see through).  
The reason we travel is because of the center pins.  Better to 
attach to the flange rather than the rail, IMHO...I really hate 
it when the traveling paper flies away when I've removed a 
hammer shank & flange.
