Good evening,

My water heater has an insulation blanket which, unfortunately, has a
hole cut into it vertically. Is it safe to use normal office adhesive
tape to tape the insulation blanket, or could this be a fire hazard?
(The insulation blanket doesn't seem to be very hot, more like
lukewarm, but I thought I would ask.)

Apart from the fire hazard: I suppose that a different type of tape
would improve the quality of the insulation. Which kind of tape should
I get in the ideal case? Or would it be best to get a new insulation
blanket altogether?

Many thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Best wishes,

David
Hi,
Due to warmth, tapes doesn't stay put long. Use bunge cord or twine
to keep it in place. That is what I did.
