That's a good guess and I am creating a new wiring harness but wasn't planning 
on using the adhesive tape to wrap it all. I already have some nice 
non-adhesive harness tape for that. I am planning on using the adhesive tape to 
secure the ends of the wrapping though and want something that will last, not 
let go or creep and not get all gummy and gooey in the future. 

Thanks!
Michael
