I've used the Avery 1-line corrector tape for years, and liked it just fine. It is a roll of perhaps 3mm in width, pressure sensitive paper with a brown, waxed backing paper like someone else has described. The "backing" is thinner than the tape itself, and I've actually used it for finnessing the odd furtive offender, when pushing the regular tape to the very edge isn't enough. The other day however, my assistant came back with 3M "Post-it" 1-line corrector tape in a slick dispenser. Though I tend to stick (no pun intended) with a product I like for a lifetime, the "3M" may even be slightly thinner than the "Avery" and for traveling purposes, "too thin" is the better problem to have. Having to psyche myself up for this procedure as it is, (chanting "travelling shanks is an enjoyable and rewarding task" over and over), why diminish the joy by working with less than ideal materials? Office-supply stores seem to be as plentiful as Starbuck's locations, so in an emergency, my choice would be run to the store. "Post-it" products are everywhere. BTW, I am also looking forward to meeting my CAUT colleauges in Dallas. It will be almost 5 years since I began here at B.U. and you've been a tremendous help. I certainly appreciate the willingness and helpful attitude of those participating on this list-serve.

Hi Elwood! If the thickness is something that suits your traveling needs, it ought to work just fine. I think all those envelopes use hide glue anyway so reversibility shouldn't be a problem if you change your mind later on. I keep a supply of old un-licked envelopes of various thicknesses for use in traveling flanges.
