I worked as a licensed apprentice electrician a few years ago and used Super
33, Super 88, Temflex 1710 (regular and MSHA approved), Scotch 35 (for color
coding). I really like the 88 (it is thicker than 33, however, more
expensive). 1710 is not too bad, it has the same thickness as 33, and cheaper.
Are you referring to the white "glass cloth" tape? I know that is used where
there are high temperatures (Scotch 27 good to 266 degrees F). There is a
thick rubber tape (Scotch 130C, good thru 69kV) that is used for sealing
connections in wet areas (I worked a few months in 2006 at an underground
coalmine with my uncle here in Eastern Oklahoma and that works really well). I
try to keep some of each on hand just in case I need them.

I have heard you all mention scotch super 33 vinyl electrical tape and
recommended it for a few different uses. Is there still any use for rubber and
cloth type electrical tapes for certain specific tasks?
