Default Gorilla Tape

Bought some today and put it on. Seemed just like duct tape to me. Now
I'll just see how long it lasts and how good it holds up. I'm using it on a
3" section of welding cable that got shorted and melted the coating.


For that use, I'd want to go with 2-3 layers of rubber tape covered
with 3 layers of Scotch 33 Electricians tape. [and probably somebody
who has done serious electrical work in the last 20 years will have
some improvements on that]

But I wouldn't trust Gorilla, Gaffers or Duct tape to be electrical
insulation.
