[ARC5] Silicone Tape

[Jim Wiley]

What you want is Scotch brand type 22 self-sealing tape.  It is 
expensive, but worth it.   You stretch it over itself, and it adheres to 
itself and soon becomes one contiguous mass.

This was a wise precaution to prevent shorts, but I don't have any friction tape, don't know where you could buy any, and I am unimpressed with the "electrical tape" I have found - it's not very sticky and probably would fall off.
