We use it as a first layer stretching it three times across the connector. It helps to remove potential air pockets and makes the second tape wrap easier to accomplish. For subscriber installs we cover the Temflex with Super 33. For arial connections we add Super 33, then mastic and another layer of super 33. I've used just Temflex because I didn't have any electrical tape. It seems to have worked well by itself.
