extra wide electrical tape

[boldfish]

Can anyone suggest a source for extra wide electrical (vinyl) tape? I'm looking for something in the 6"-8" width range.

Color is unimportant.

Thanks in advance.

I've heard about "liquid electrical tape". Comes in a can and you dip things into it.

Call 3M?

Try Parts Express. 1.5" wide (twice standard width) hopefully is enuff.

Here's some from RadioShack.

66 feet wide, but it's only 3/4" long...

telecomguy,

LOL. So the RS stuff is ideal for wrapping a very wide, but extremely short spice, right?

Along, the same lines, I remember the one-pager (LOL then too) about pipes and tubing: "All outside diameters must be larger than, and also continuously remain outside all inside diameters, for the same size pipe or tubing. Likewise . . . "

telecomguy, I have some of the 66' wide stuff already - it's just a wee bit short.

I found a 6" wide vinyl tape at edemco.com. It is .005 thick and comes in varying colors.

I think I can make it work. Thanks for the suggestions.

Tape manufacturers make the tape in quite wide rolls and then cut it to size. For example the maximum width from these guys is 48" but they can cut to size;

I have no idea if these guys are any good but I'm sure you can find others.
