[Shop-talk] Electrical tape

[Michael Lye]

That's a good guess and I am creating a new wiring harness but wasn't planning on using the adhesive tape to wrap it all. I already have some nice non-adhesive harness tape for that. I am planning on using the adhesive tape to secure the ends of the wrapping though and want something that will last, not let go or creep and not get all gummy and gooey in the future. 

Thanks!
Michael

I have other kinds of PSA tapes (gaffers, blue painters, etc) that don't do this but I'm looking for a thin plastic electrical tape specifically.
