I was looking for something to protect the lead wires for my heating blankets. I tried heat shrink tubes but was unhappy with them. So after lookkng around I found some self fusing silicone tape.

This stuff is a good product. This stuff will stick to the blankets but does not leave any residue. In fact it doesn't have any adhesive at all and is dry to the touch. It can be easily removed also. It withstands unto 500 deg F and insulates also. It did a great job not only protecting the lead wires but beefing up the whole exit tab where the 18g wires are exposed. This is definitely a weak and is somewhat flimsy in my opinion.

2 thumbs up for this product as something that can easily be used to protect your heat blanket investment.

This is not the exact stuff I used but it is basically the same product. I found mine on sale for $5.

I fail to see how this makes a single bit of difference in what we do but hey, glad you found a use for it. Last time I checked a 40" TC was about 5 bucks...

Read a bit closer before chiming in.

I was taking about supporting the thin 18ga wires that exit the heater blankets themselves. Last time I checked breaking off one of those near the exit tab would cost a bit more than $5.

Wrong. But hey, I appreciate you taking time out of your busy neurosurgery schedule and planning of rocket trajectories to post that stabby fk'n BS. Good job! Here's a tip...DONT PUT THE WIRES THAT EXIT THE BLANKET NEAR ANY PRESSURE POINT. I'm just sayin'. Just because you spend 40 bucks on tape doesn't mean it's a good idea. Well, maybe it is. For you.
