2.
Do not stretch the tape to the point where it distorts. Only apply enough pressure to get a smooth wrap.
3.
Smooth each wrapped layer of tape with your hands to ensure proper adhesion.
4.
Do not pull the tape to tear it - always cut the tape. A pulled tape will most likely unravel, decreasing
protection.
5.
In warm climates where there will be long exposure to sunlight, it is a good idea to wrap an extra layer or
two of electrical plastic tape over the rubber mastic layer to enhance UV protection.
6.
For vertical runs of cable, the final layer of electrical tape should be wrapped from the bottom to the
top, and overlap about 50% of the width of the tape. This will provide the same effect as shingles on a
house. The water will run down across the joints without going into the joints.
