OK. I have a new blank tape I'm too cheap to throw away. VCR tapes are only about =A32.00 apiece so I don't want to spend any money on the proper tape repair gizmo. The damn thing jumped the spool and did that stretchy mangly thingie, right at the start of the spool.
I have PVA, mastic, silicon and that awful foam glue that comes in mastic like containers. I probably have a pot or tube of that instant cyanate stuff too somewhere. (Do I really need such a sad reason to sort out my tack?) Do I junk it? I have rewound it and put the casette back together but I want to glue the ribbon past where the bad stuff is wound on.
If it's a matter of buying a tube of something cheap, that I may get to use the rest of some year, I might spent a quid on it. Someone get me a link about the way that tapes are supposed to run too. I was trying to surf the net while watching the TV as I recorded something on the other channel and fix the damn thing.
I'm not too good at multi-tasking.
