Film Tape for fixing negs to enlarger glass or drum scanner

1. Could anybody advice what special tape is still available for fixing negs for glass of enlarger or drum scanner?

We are out of last roll of 3M 2-0300 tape that was good for drum scanning (little glue transfer to film|glass) and have some rolls of TESA 4104. 3М worked really good and TESA really bad. I think we got wrong TESA number tape for our aplication.

2. At the moment local marker has no 3M 2-0300 tape. I think that is discontinued product.
Please advice what 3M might be a good subtitude.

3. We have a lot of TESA tapes propositions for publishing shops. From description this is close to our needs - tesa 4129 . Had anybody any exp. with it?

4. Any other advices from practicers?

I don't know if this is suitable or not, my wife uses it a lot for putting prices on collectable books;

It's a little less than 25mm wide, and removes very cleanly, even from delicate paper, it's about the thickness of ordinary 3M clear tape, like the stuff used for gift wrapping or paper mending.
I doubt that it would stand up to being exposed to mounting fluid though.

In the darkroom I use Permacel artist's tape. 3M likely makes a version of it. No residue.
On my scanning drums I use the tape Aztek recommends because of the mounting fluid doesn't dissolve the adhesive.
