Bob Entwistle  at Ipswich Museum also had something that looked good and 
with better adhesion  by 3M.  Ask me later when i am back home (next week) if 
nothing better  turns up. 

With all good  wishes, Simon

For  clarification, when I asked about a supplier for passé-partout , I was 
 meaning a black,  gummed, heavy (and usually textured) paper tape with a 
longitudinal crease  used for taping right-angle, glass-to-glass edges in 
e.g. Victorian cases of  stuffed birds. Possibly called something else in other 
places. It was probably  the same thing (or very similar) that was used to 
bind the edges of some old  lantern slides as well.

Does anyone know of a supplier  of passé-partout or if it has  been 
replaced by another material/tape?  Any suggestions will be welcome. Our 
conservator's had trouble locating  a supplier of this for repairing old sheet glass  
enclosures.
