How to use self-amalgamating tape

Black PVC tape, often referred to as electrical tape, is an indispensable tool in both professional and DIY settings. Made from polyvinyl chloride, this versatile tape is used extensively for insulation, bundling, and even decorative purposes. Its unique properties make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from electrical work to crafting and everything in between.

When comparing prices for floor marking tape, it is also important to consider the size and quantity needed for your specific project. Buying in bulk can often result in cost savings, but be sure to consider whether you will be able to use all of the tape before it expires or deteriorates.

Bike Connect is still in development, and its creators are working on adding features that will allow cyclists to use it without looking at their phones. (And, we have to ask—what’s stopping someone in a car from using this?) But it’s a great example of what some crafty technology geeks can do with a few wires, capacitors and a durable outdoor electronics enclosure.

When properly applied, quality tapes can serve as valuable standby resources for jobs such as insulating motor lead connections, inline splices, and split bolt and bus bar connections. Let's take a look at some guidelines for each.

According to Steve Anderson, a National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) director, the NJATC believes strongly in the importance of splice and termination taping skills for electricians and linemen. “Taping is the first thing covered in our cable splice training course, and we spend a lot of time in this area,” Anderson says.
