The silicone tape is available from Times Microwave, Andrew and a few
others. I've been a very tried and true 3M rubber tape, 3M scotchkote and
3M #33 tape guy for many years. However, I've started using this silicone
tape recently and am likewise very impressed. I usually make two complete
layers, each one covering half of the previous wrap. One slice with a razor
knife and it comes off, at that point I defy anyone to separate those pieces
of tape, they have 'melted' into one solid, tight silicone seal. Just for
safety I put some 33 over it to make sure it is protected and doesn't come
loose.
Excellent stuff thus far...but then again, it's summer :)
