Tom is very correct. In 3M presentations on their specialty tape products, they emphasized NOT yanking off the end of any tape; but to unroll as Tom says, and let it "relax" then CUT the tape from the roll. That way, you will not have loose ends hanging off the installation after a few weeks. This is true of any tape with stretch.
3M has a broad line of self amalgamating tapes. They are used extensively in the electric utility trade; so met a local lineman, or check with electrical wholesale houses in your vicinity. If ever you can get a 3M rep. to give a local club a presentation, they are fond of bringing samples to give out. 73, Stuart K5KVH _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
