@kporter.stuff: How self fusing rubber splicing tape works, no adhesive explained Self fusing rubber tape has no adhesive. It cold flows into itself and becomes one seamless mass, which is why water cannot track through it. 🙌🏼⚙️ #mechanicalengineering #materialsscience #electrical #howthingswork #engineering
I always hated using that crap. When Polaris Lugs came to my area, I jumped on that wagon and never looked back.

Sometimes I use this product in my work in conjunction with a product called scotchkote to create a watertight covering over a spliced cable capable of functioning in several hundred meters of seawater

Do 3M 5200 marine adhesive sealant. I watch way too many people on boats and 5200 seems to be the cats meow for sealant and adhesive

I bought 5 rolls in 1978. Still have one full one left. Works as well as the day it was manufactured.

I always called it self Amalgamating tape. Unless that’s different stuff. Use it on sub cable joints on boreholes pumps

I use this method to fix garden hose. This tape, half lapped will keep it waterproof and then vinyl tape over it for the mechanical protection.

This works just like the "silicone rescue tape" I use. Are they the same thing? Are they using the term "silicone" when it's really rubber?
