Slightly OT: Where do I find the black woven tape used in electronics?

Dekatron42 <martin....@gmail.com>: Dec 10 05:30AM -0800 I've been trying to find the black woven tape used to tape connectors to each other to keep them connected and it is also use to tape cables down to the casing.   I am restoring some old electronics equipment where this tape has been used but the glue used on the tape has dried over the years and the tape has come loose.   There are thousands upon thousands of different tapes to be bought at places like Digikey and Mouser but I just don't know where to start and I hope that someone here can point me in the right direction.   /Martin

J Forbes <jfor...@gmail.com>: Dec 10 05:44AM -0800 Pictures of what you are talking about are always helpful. I can't quite imagine what it might be.       On Sunday, December 10, 2023 at 6:30:39 AM UTC-7 Dekatron42 wrote:

Marcin Adamski <marcin.r...@gmail.com>: Dec 11 01:18AM +1100 Maybe Tesa 51608 would do?   On 11/12/2023 00:30, Dekatron42 wrote:

Adrian Godwin <artg...@gmail.com>: Dec 10 03:12PM I remember a type of insulating tape from before PVC and more specialist tapes became common. It was a cloth tape impregnated with a black adhesive somewhat like tar. The adhesive went all through though maybe one side was a bit wetter than the other. The result when wound tightly was quite water resistant water would bead up on it, and there was enough free adhesive that you could smear it over and seal the surface completely. This would have been about 1968 or so.   I'm afraid I don't know where to get it but I'd search for cloth tape, cloth tar tape maybe.   On Sun, Dec 10, 2023 at 2:21 PM Dekatron42 <martin....@gmail.com> wrote:

Adrian Godwin <artg...@gmail.com>: Dec 10 03:16PM Maybe this one ? https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/electrical-tapes/0494679   Search was 'cloth electrical tape waterproof' on duckduckgo.

Ron Walsh <mgb...@bellsouth.net>: Dec 10 03:36PM What you describes sounds a lot like wiring harness tape.  It is impregnated with an adhesive, but it is not thick like in the pictures.  I used it on the wiring on my ancient MGB.   ...Semper Fidelis... https://www.amazon.com/Automotive-Harness-Wrapping-Adhesive-Damping/dp/B07Y9VTPTF On Sunday, December 10, 2023 at 10:22:23 AM EST, Adrian Godwin <artg...@gmail.com> wrote: I remember a type of insulating tape from before PVC and more specialist tapes became common. It was a cloth tape impregnated with a black adhesive somewhat like tar.
