I knew that there would be a single malt Scotch tape joke sooner or later.

What a waste of Scotch! ;)

Oh, you mean Sellotape - not Lagavulin! :)

P.S. I've always used whatever tape came to hand, and only once had a
problem when I used masking tape - well, it was the same colour as Ilford's
tape.

Quarter inch masking tape?
Scotch "magic" tape?

Leica cassettes? (You don't need tape).

I bulk load, but only because modern cassettes don't seat properly in a
IIIc, not to save money.
