Author Topic: Looking for audio bloop tape Ben Tucker Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Rochester, NY, USA Registered: Aug 2012 posted 01-29-2016 08:06 AM                     Here's a longshot. I'm looking for 35mm and 16mm audio bloop tape. Does anyone know of a supplier? Or do any of you have some that you'd be willing to part with? Thank you.

Many years ago, I remember buying a type of ink or dye to accomplish the same purpose. I don't remember what it was called, but I got it at a large photographic supply house in New York, and its' actual purpose was for retouching or masking sections of Black & White negatives used for photos or lithographic printing. But I don't know if they even manufacture that stuff anymore now that everything has "gone digital".  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

You can also bloop with India ink....last time I blooped anything was for a low budget film 40 years ago.  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-29-2016 06:44 PM                     The advantage of tape is that it can be removed. The India or Acetate opaque inks used for engineering drawings in years past work well but are waterproof and permanent. In a tight pinch you might use automation metal cue tape if the removable feature is important and you are not playing the film on automated equipment that might read the tape as a cue.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 02-03-2016 08:46 PM                     Maybe a body shop pinstripe supplier where they carry tonnage of pinstripe in various widths.  |  IP: Logged
