Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Slightly OT: Where do I find the black woven tape used in electronics?

2023-12-15 Thread Dekatron42 
Thank you for all suggestions, googling them all showed me photos of other 
tapes which finally led me to what I believe is the tape I am looking for 
and it is called acetate cloth electrical tape. 3M sells a type called "3M 
Acetate cloth electrical tape 11" 
https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b00017295/ which of course is quite 
expensive as it is 3M and I could only find it in stock in 6.3mm width 
(1/4"). However I found some other brands at transformer winding companies 
as it is also used to isolate between winding layers and also on top of the 
final winding layer. Since I won't be using it as an isolating tape I 
ordered a cheaper one from eBay (Chinese manufacturer used at a transformer 
winding company I know - if i just had thought about that first!).

The photo below shows one such tape from Amazon, unfortunately Amazon 
didn't have a single type of acetate tape in stock right now.

You might also try searching for “friction tape”. I remember using that back in 
the days before PVC, and we also used it to wrap the paddle of our hockey
