Adhesive for damaged tapes (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paste

'adhesive' is the definition.
(I know that paste is a type of adhesive)

'damaged tapes' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'tapes' anagrammed gives 'PASTE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for paste that I've seen before include "It may be put on teeth" , "sound beating" , "Imitation gems; adhesive" , "Fake gems; adhesive" , "Creamy, sticky, or doughy mixture" .)
