Tambour Roll Top Door Tape TW-3 – 3" Cotton Backing Strip

TW-3 Tambour Roll Top Door Tape – 3" Cotton Backing Strip

Restore your tambour roll top door with confidence. TW-3 is a 3-inch wide, 100% cotton, pre-shrunk backing tape designed specifically for tambour door restoration. Sold by the lineal foot — one unit equals a piece 3" wide × 1 foot long — so you get exactly what your project requires, nothing more.

Why Restorers Choose TW-3

Unlike full-width cloth, TW-3 strips are easier to apply and just as strong. Glueing full cloth risks bonding wood slats together between the slats; using individual strips dramatically reduces that risk while delivering the same structural integrity. This tape has become the go-to backing material for Hoosier cabinet, Sellers, Boone, and Napanee roll top door repairs.

How to Use

TW-3 does not self-adhere — it requires TG-1 Tambour Glue (sold separately, linked for easy ordering). As a general rule, use 1 strip per foot of door width — a 30–36" wide door typically needs 3 strips. Actual usage may vary based on door condition and slat spacing.

Ordering multiple feet? Your order ships as one continuous piece. Order 3 units and you receive a single 3-foot strip.
