Adhesive Tape

The right tape for the job can do wonders!

There are many different types of (double sided) tapes. we did some testing and here are our notes. The main criteria are: Does it stick well enough for my application? Does it not leave dirty traces that we cannot remove? Will it stay on long enough? Is it affordable?

Cable repair flexible waterproof

Self Vulcanising ISO Butyl Rubber Tape

The best solution for phone charger cables with broken insulation. But also waterproof insulation of electrical connections. The tape consists of soft black rubber that only sticks to itself. So if you wind it around your cable it will form a strong flexible plastic sleeve around it that will protect and insulate.
Fist remove the backing paper and then stretch the tape firmly. Then wind it snugly around the parts that you want to repair. Hold for 3 minutes and presto! Order for instance at Conrad.
