It is what it is.........what is important is the quality of the electrical connection, not the tape. ;-) |

You will with two or three years of exposure at 100 feet in the air exposed to the elements. You mean to tell me I'll come to fully appreciate $16 electrical tape? I mean; I'm already appreciative of it becuase it kept us boating that day... so it was worth it -- but "in the scope of things" it's not worth it. |

Best. Electrical. Tape. Ever. http://tinyurl.com/228hal For boats PVC tape is better. After you tape it, put a little PVC pipe glue on the tape, and it will be welded solid and not let any water in. Works as well as liquid tape on the trailer light connections. |

Works as well as liquid tape on the trailer light connections. I've done that on trailer connections. The only problem is that pvc pipe "glue" is actually an aromatic solvent which means it's "gluing" action is actually a way to melt the plastic to make the seal. I'm not sure that's a great idea. |

Maybe you didn't read it correctly. Duck Electrical Tape. A duck is an aquatic, or marine bird. That's marine tape there. Good stuff for da boat. But Navy tape would be better. --Vic |
