Abstract
Abstract A tape for use in securing a sheet to a surface has adhesive extending part way across one face and the full length thereof with the uncoated portion to overlie the margin of the sheet. The adhesive is colored and disposed to establish a lengthwise demarcation between the coated and uncoated portions and the tape is sufficiently translucent to enable said adhesive to be seen through the tape thus enabling the tape to be applied without the adhesive in contact with the sheet being secured.
