Rant: Why is everyone using book tape on leather spines?
I just watched a guy at a guild meetup tape a broken leather spine with that clear book tape, and the whole room went silent. That stuff yellows in like 2 years and leaves a sticky mess that ruins the leather. Anyone else had to fix a botched repair job like that?

Book tape yellows way faster than 2 years in my experience.

Oh wow, you're totally right. I used to think book tape was good for at least a few years, but I've had some projects where the tape started turning yellow on me within a year. It really depends on the brand and how much light the book gets. I'll have to pay more attention to that from now on.
