Hi, Fred

I did have a problem with what looked like that material, when I had to
take wippens off a fairly new Samick grand for repinning. This gum got
old awfully fast, and when I removed a part the paper liked to fall off.
I had to watch like a hawk, and glue it back when I could figure out
where it came from. Still some travelling to do when reinstalling.
The mucilage on the old package tape doesn't seem to fail over time.

I recently saw a roll of it in the paint section of
a small local hardware store. I don't see it often, but some is
still out there.
