Audio Cassette Loop

Step 12Splice

Splice
Take a small piece of packing tape and evenly splice together the two ends to form a solid band (without any twists in it... although, if you put one twist in it, it will double the length of the loop, but make it harder to reassemble).

Trim away any excess packing tape with your razor or craft knife.

I've had to splice together broken tapes a couple of times and have found that if you make the ends diagonal instead of 90 degree, the tape is less likely to skip loudly. The "taper" on the tape makes for a smoother transition and less strain on the splice altogether.
