Michael,
Have you tried the higher end electrical tapes from 3M? I seem to
remember that the cheaper the tape, the stickier it gets. I use, I
believe 3M #66 tape. Most of the tape I use is outside, on RF
connectors, which need to be taped waterproof. I use the self-sealing
rubber tape first, followed by electrical tape, and finally liquid
electrician's tape. I find the black liquid tape lasts much longer than
the red stuff. I haven't had water get into my connectors in years, so
something must be working!
Peace,
Pat
