 Re: Teflon tape as Goldbeater's Skin

I do the same as robin - I cut a roll of 1.2 - 1.3 cm wide saran-wrap (cling-film) from a standard kitchen roll of the same. If it comes loose (usually due to soaking the reed) I pull it off and reapply a fresh piece from my roll.

Regarding sealing, a couple of points.

1. Often, a reed will not seal perfectly at first, but as you scrape it and play it in the seal becomes better and better, usually to the point where the wrap is no longer needed.

2. Trying to adjust a reed that does NOT seal is doomed to failure from the start. Make it seal with one or two turns of wrap, and THEN adjust it, as needed.
