Scotch Super 33 tape is great stuff, but Scotch Super 88 is even better-
it's thicker, has a better adhesive, and it has better UV resistance. Cloth
tape, AKA "friction tape", should be pitched into a trash can.
Scotch does make a "Linerless Splicing Tape" which is self-vulcanizing
rubber, and is
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

F-4 tape! That
Funny... all those years in maintenance and I've never heard that

Rubber tape is good for high-vibration environments, where the insulation could
get rubbed off over time. The rubber would get worn down before the insulation.
Apply cloth tape over it to keep rubber from dripping off in high heat.
Cloth tape is good for higher temps (won't stretch like plastic)
