Hi Victor, I guess that you are pretty young. Back in the 1950s and 60s a black cloth cotton tape was used. It was commonly called friction tape. As it dried out it would become very brittle Lenny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Victor Gouveia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 8:27 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Electricity runs the world but it also takes many lives.
I'm not sure about the person who wrote this article, but I have never seen electrical tape made out of fibre or any other material. It's always been made of a rubbery material, with an adhesive backing, and an almost glossy top. Either I'm very young, or this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Any comments?
