Please only use old cassettes from the photo lab as a last resort. Bite the bullet and by metal film cassettes and use plain 1" / 24mm (or 3/4" / 18mm) masking tape (not the blue "low tac" variety). I say metal because lately I have had very bad luck with the quality of the plastic cassettes and the metal ones are naturally more robust to begin with. With a film as costly as Tech Pan don't skimp on the cassettes. Part of the fun of Tech Pan is making large enlargements and having a giant scratch across your print will only remind you that a new cassette would have cost you 50 cents.
