 Re: Teflon tape as Goldbeater's Skin
Author: Chris P

I keep a spool of PTFE tape on hand as it's much easier to use than goldbeater's skin and can be replaced easily enough if need be. Cling film usually comes adrift when it gets wet, but PTFE tape stays put and absorbs water.

Reeds that aren't airtight as they haven't had the binding sealed with a coating of varnish can quickly be made leak free when wrapped in PTFE tape. I usually wrap my reeds with it around the base of the reed from the wire downwards (covering the wire as well), totally covering the binding.
