Polyken Wiring Harness Tape
Polyken Wiring Harness Tape

It's amazing how much better this stuff is than common PVC electrical tape - maybe even good enough to justify the cost! I'm addicted. I can barely bring myself to pick up a roll of the cheap crap, even for stuff like lawn mowers.

Although it's not technically an electrical tape, I use it that way because it's so much better. It never unravels or turns slimy or hardens. And in my mind, that makes it superior to any tape that falls off, exposing wires to shorts. This is NOT friction tape, or PVC tape, or cloth tape (although it has fibers in it), and it IS adhesive. It's flame-retardant and heat- & chemical-resistant, UV-stabilized, and made in USA.

The 2nd batch I ordered came in around $3/roll after shipping, but it's getting harder to find.
