3M Finishing TapeFeatures:Pressure sensitive rubber adhesive bonds easily and securely
- Apply in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to conform and produce a uniform covering
- On a pigtail splice, wrap the tape beyond the end of the wire and then fold back and over-wrap, leaving a protective cushion to resist cut-through
- Wrap uphill, taping from a smaller diameter to a larger diameter surface
- Apply the tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flagging
- In most applications, this tension will reduce the tape width to approximately 60% of its original width
