Re: strong tape of 0.15 to 0.20 mm thickness
Hi Ryuji, You may want to give the mylar tape used to crop slides a try. It can be found at pretty much any photo supply store. B&H (bhphotovideo.com), Calumet (calumetphoto.com), and Freestyle (freestylephoto.biz) all have carried it at one point, and I think they still do. It's very thin, strong, little to no friction, and has pretty good adhesive qualities. You'll have to work the tape on there for it to stick well, but eventually it will. It's easily removable too...no sticky stuff left behind.
