didn't know where else to ask questions about referencing.
Are there sources in print that talk about using double stick tape inside a card box as a holdout to retain cards?
I know that Braue in his "The Fred Braue Notebooks" uses wax stuck inside the box to hold back cards, which is an old reference, but I couldn't find any sort of more recent source that uses the tape instead, and it seems like a technique that digital content doesn't bother with crediting. Much appreciated.

I don't personally think changing the adhesive used would warrant crediting at all. I'd go with the Braue reference unless someone comes up with something earlier.

Re: need help with reference
There is much to be said about craftsmanship and engineering, e. g. making long cards or an expanded coin shell, that merits "credit".
So, is there a credit to be had for applying roughing fluid to the inside of the box too? How about Science Friction specifically?
