I didn't know they still made that stuff. I had seen some on ebay a while
back, but it was 40 years old and was being sold as a collector's item. But
B&H still stocks it. Thanks!!

Jeffrey, I have bulk loaded for many years, I always used "Scotch 
Photographic Tape" black, opaque, stronger than masking tape. From 
graphic arts store.

And yes, for me, it is still cost effective, to the person who wondered.
