Review on πŸ”§ X-Treme Tape TPE-X36ZLB: Silicone Rubber Self Fusing Tape, 1" x 36', Triangular Shape, Black - Ultimate solution for all your sealing needs by Joseph Quade

Military quality - seriously!

The cord on my 25 year old DeWalt drill is badly worn exposing the wires underneath. I was thinking about replacing that great drill with a new one, but decided to try X-Treme Tape TPE-X36ZLB silicone tape first. Good move! This material is identical to what I used to repair military aircraft electrical harnesses and cables in Thailand a few years ago. Overlap. The 1" wide elastic is not tacky to the touch but rather sticks firmly to itself without heat or glue. I put the second layer on top of the first as this wire gets a lot of stress near the handle. Store leftover tape in a plastic bag to keep it from drying out. Not to say that the old drill looks like new, but the bare wires are well protected and insulated again. X-Treme Tape TPE-X36ZLB Self-Adhesive Silicone Rubber Tape earned a solid five stars in my book!
