Home Depot now has 3M Tempflex Rubber Splicing Tape #2155, 3/4" by 22'
for only $2.48 a roll.

Self-fusing. I havent' used it yet but this seems like the tape I paid
$7 or 8 for smaller rolls., tape that is GREAT!!! I have 2 unfinished
rolls, saw one two months ago, but can't find either. But for only
2.48, I can afford to buy more.

APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...+Silicone+Tape
Still has tape called silicone tape tha tthey sell for 10 dollars for a
10 foot roll. But maybe this cheaper tape is very good too. One
reviewer said that in the 70's he saw phone lines taped with this stuff
in the 30's and the tape was still good.


The tape I have already, sometimes called silicon tape, is wonderful.
Half to stretch it to 2 or 3 times its orignal length. After a day or
two it fuses into one big waterproof blob. Sticks to whatever it was
wrapped around and seems waterproof there two. To use,


"This tape is excellent for sealing out moisture , I put it on wire nuts
after tightening to prevent loosening and to seal out moisture , Even
though you must stretch it when applying , Is pretty easy and the
stretch as you apply seals out the moisture and also keeps the wires
tight together when taping wire nuts , Keep in mind that when using
rubber splicing tape, you must finish it with a top coat of regular
electrical tape "

Is the last sentence true?


Same price on Amazon

Is the length 22 feet or inches? I saw something like this at Lowes in the gadget area up front. Looks like the same thing I bought at the dollar store in shorter length.
