Yeah, we don't want to follow the path of American Motors in the 1980s (yes, they used duct tape on electrical connections). For those using electrical tape, you need to use the right kind. They are not all created equal. Use only 3M #33+ (black) or #35 (colors). Some folks argue you should not even allow anything else in your shop/inventory.
