Tom,

Thanks for the URL - the site I was thinking of was one which caters to the 
alt processes.  The Calumet tape sounds just as good and may be self 
adhesive.  The URL you gave didn't go directly to the tape - here is the 
direct link:

Cost is $2.20 for a yard.  You're so lucky still being able to use "real" 
measurements in the US - we have been forced into metric here in the 
UK.  If anyone sells you products using imperial measures they are taken to 
court and receive a heavy fine.  One of the best pieces of news footage I 
have seen was of a group of outraged butchers and grocers smashing a large 
set of metric weighing scales to pieces outside the Houses of Parliament as 
a protest!

We still have pints of beer in pubs despite several attempts to make people 
accept litres and 1/2 litres. Best to drink several of these when the 
bureaucracy gets too much ;-)


All the best,
