Yeah, I am pretty sure I saw a video or still photos of the unwrapping, and there was a bunch of electrical tape holding it in position. It was all bundled up. Seriously, who wouldn't use tape? Why would anyone just use insulation and hope it stayed in place? Let's give Russi the benefit of the doubt here, and assume he has common sense. The video shows electrical tape plastered all over the machine and the heat exchanger (starting at minute 2). Clearly, they buy the stuff in bulk at Cosco. They have a lot of it sitting around. So why would he use only insulation? As I said, the guy knows what he is doing. - Jed
