My preferred tools are Scotch Magic Transparent tape and a pair of
small sharp-point scissors.

(For the uninitiated, the more conventional editing session involves
reading the tape with a stream editor like TECO which punches a new
corrected tape after you make the corrections.  But I often just patch
the tape and only make a new copy when the tape gets too ratty.)
