How to patch a tape

You left out the step where you make sure the foot marks are 1.00 ft apart before applying the patch.

Yes, I also don't know how to rivet them either.?ÿ

I was counting on brother Bill to check on my scale factor!

Are you repairing the tape that was used to survey the property described in the deed that didnƒ??t close by 0.76ƒ??. Iƒ??m surprised how long the duct tape repair lasted.?ÿ

@fairbanksLS,

Aw, that's not reasonable.

We pull our tapes too hard for that.

Boss I forgot the data collectors so we get to go home.

you see here where it shows angle and distance, we write that down for each shot.

what but that takes forever?ÿ

you learn to write fast.

Boss, we lost the field book..... 😉

I still have 2 splice kits.

Or, you could go to ace hardware and buy another one for 12 dollars.?ÿ ???

In my best Jeff Foxworthy voice: If you spend $600 worth of billable time repairing a $150 dollar tool, you might be a surveyor.

12.00 is about what a tape patch kit costed. As I remember.?ÿ

Tapes and reels are selling on eBay for about $35.00 for a used 100' tape. A 300' one with patches recently sold for 38$.

Dad would have bought it, and put on another crew!
