 Re: Teflon tape as Goldbeater's Skin

I was using plastic wrap (saran wrap) but I got sick of it unwrapping during soaking. I'm now using plumbers tape (is that PTFE tape?) which I think is also known as thread tape.

It doesn't come off during soaking, you don't need much, therefore it doesn't restrict the reed's vibrations and I even use it on the corks of the staples that are a little loose. It's easily transportable and cheap. My only complaint is that it is not clear, but them's the trade-offs!
