2 Tesa 51036 PET Cloth High Heat Electrical Tape for Wire Harness, Cables for Automotive Engine, Protect Against High Temperature, Abrasion, Chemical & Fluid | Flame Retardant | Black

Where has this been all my life? A much much better alternative to nasty electrical tape. Easy to use, holds well, looks OEM and doesn't leave a mess when removed. I purchased this for making wiring harnesses and now I use it for everything. The matt finish looks so much better than shiny black or other tape colors. I even use it hide gaps when installing car stereo equipment (it also stops rattles if you wrap the equipment before you install it).

Saw videos on YouTube with this tape being used for wire harnesses , I have an Acura tl type S that I’m fixing up (project car) and this is perfect for re doing and organizing the wires in the engine bay . Would buy again!

I use this tape for all my automotive wiring whenever I’m doing anything inside the engine compartment. It looks just like factory tape it sticks onto the wiring and doesn’t come off like traditional electrical tape when hot.

I've used a lot of Tesa 51608 tape and got some of this 51036 for where I wanted more abrasion resistance.For those wondering what the difference is between this 51036 and the 51608,51036 is stickier, tougher, not "fluffy", and can't be torn by hand.51036 has pretty much zero stretch.51608 is handier to use since you don't need a sharp knife or scissors to cut.51608 also has a little stretch making it easier to neatly bundle cables.51608 has less stick than the 51036. It sticks well to itself but not so well to other materials. Probably ideal for a cable loom tape.Both are great tapes, but each has their place.Also - a warning - watch out for some vendors selling similar description (not Tesa) tape at a reduced price. I tried some of it and it was pure junk. Wouldn't stick to anything.BTW, this vendor - Prime Ave - is good to deal with. Answered questions I had promptly.

Best and the strongest tape out there. U will need a knife or the razor to cut it as u won't rip it for sure. Only issue I wanna mention is for the sellers to put the added blade in a case. I reached in the bag and wasn't expecting to get cut by the blade in there.

Looks identical to the original tape used on my Mercedes engine harness. This is the tape you want if you are using it in a vehicle engine bay.

I think this tape made me mad, because it quickly became obvious that for 50 years now I have made tens of wiring harnesses the wrong way. This whole time, I should have been using this tape!The differences between this, and, anything else commonly used for wiring looms like Super 33, friction tape, cloth tape, or even split loom is very evident during the first few wraps.From now on, nothing but Tesa 51036 will even be considered when needing to do any kind of work with any kind of wiring loom.it wouldn't surprise me if life would have turned out far better had I discovered this stuff 50 years ago.

Good Quality for the cost
