I had to place a heavy weight onto it to slowly encourage it to flatten into a disc again. The trouble is that’s it’s permanently stored under a large block of wood (a door stop) as every time I take it out it tries to push itself off the central plastic ring. Very inconvenient. I. Hope the tape redeems itself by being excellent. ### ⭐ Useless *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2019* The tape arrived in a soft plastic bag. It was badly distorted to the extent the tape had almost come off the carrier, damaging one side of the tape and rendering it useless. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Craft supplies cheaper than selly telly *by L***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2020* I bought this tape to make memory albums, I’ve yet to use it but it looks to be just what I needed at a good CC price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/87358365-archival-heavy-duty-book-repair-tape-555-1-1-4](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/87358365-archival-heavy-duty-book-repair-tape-555-1-1-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
