that magical 3M tape

[nastyjones]

I need to cover some wires on my bike & wondered if anyone has used that tape 3M makes that bonds to itself. Sort of like the OEM stuff that covers our wiring from the factory. I must admit, the concept sounds great.

There was some heat shrink electrical tape a few years ago designed for wiring harnesses. Don't remember who made it.

If its like the splicing tape Im thinking of, It's a rubber, stretchy tape that has no adhesive on it-it adheres to itself as you've said. Its not very easy to take off however.

Do you mean this? Self Amalgamating Tape.

We use it offshore for in water equipment, this and scotchcote can be used for stuff that goes pretty deep. Way overkill for bike harness, difficult and messy to remove.

Scotch 23 tape .
Not cheap .
What did you want to use it for ?
It IS a bugger to get off .

Cheers , Simon .

130c will be a real mess on a bike harness. I use it on larger split bolt and lugged bolt connection.
Super 88 works well on harness' Although 33 is probably more than adequate.

Regular tape backwards on the first layer helps if you plan on ever salvaging the connection.

This is the magic stuff. Water tight. Only clings to it's self. High voltage. Flexible. It's the base coat when using 130c, 30 and 88. Makes disassembly a snap.

I switched to Super 88 years ago. I was looking for a higher temp, super sticky, thicker electrical tape. That is Super 88 to a "T".
