4. Continue to remove the core in a counter-clockwise direction until it is completely removed.
Section 2.9.3
Applying Self-Amalgamating Tape
To apply self-amalgamating (or self-fusing) tape to a cable end, do the following:
IMPORTANT!
When applying self-amalgamating tape, make sure to stretch it to 2/3 of its original width to form a
tight seal.
1. Cut a strip of self-amalgamating tape approximately 50 cm (19.7 in) long.
2. Apply one end of the tape to the cable end and tightly wrap it around the cable once fully, making sure the
tape overlaps.
3. Tightly wrap the remainder of the tape down the cable, making sure the tape overlaps with each pass.
4. Repeat the previous steps to apply a second layer of tape.
