They are both the same thickness, have the same abrasion resistance rating (D is classified as "high"), and can withstand temperatures up to 150 °C. Therefore, the only difference appears to be the adhesive, which doesn't seem to be significant for most uses. There was only one difference that I was able to find, which was the steel adhesion rating A score of 50 was assigned to 51026. This material is rated at 24 oz/in while 51036 is rated at 45 oz/in, which is *10% lower. It has a density of 68 oz/in Once again - There is very little risk except in a few.
I may or may not have been able to find a better solution to cover and protect my Jeep Wrangler's naked wiring. On nearly every piece of wiring, the OEM electrical tape and plastic exterior covers were rotted and dusty when I bought it this year, so I needed a new way to cover it up. A bit of research and reading Amazon reviews later, I decided to use this tape to protect all the wiring and another layer of plastic to complete the exterior When the tape arrived, it arrived in a decent shipping timeframe, and I started using it within a week or so. I found working with this stuff a bit challenging at first. As opposed to electrical tape, it does not tear and you cannot separate sections from the roll with your teeth. Though it was a bit challenging at first, once I got used to it, it became easier. does not adhere very well to itself, but to itself it is extremely strong. To ensure a clean break, once you have it wrapped tight and are satisfied with it, you will need to cut with a razor or box cutter. To secure it, I usually apply a dab of super glue to the broken end. My favorite part about this product is its durability and longevity. I have never felt better or seen a tape that would last longer. I'm so impressed that I ordered a second roll to continue my work.
For rewiring my 87 Jeep Wrangler's engine wiring harness, I'm using this product and it not only looks and feels better than electrical tape, but it's also easier to work with and doesn't leave behind a mess of sticky residue on the wiring. You can get a much better hold on it if you stick the adhesive side to itself when you make your first loop to start, then make sure you overlap about half of your previous loop before a new one starts. Then wrap it around, keeping it in place and ensuring that you don't miss any spots as you go.
While I have used 3M friction tape from Home Depot for many years in my automotive projects, I noticed that in applications that were near high temperatures or chemicals (gas, oil, coolant, etc. Tape 51036 owned by Tesa is now available. Wire loom tape with a smooth texture similar to rayon, this tape looks and feels almost identical to the OEM wire loom tape I use in my Audi and Mercedes engine bays. This tape on the other hand has much better adhesion and malleability than friction tape, and offers a very good degree of protection and heat deterrence. For some spots of tape, I used a small zip tie to hold the ends together so that they would not unravel. In summary, this is an excellent tape for the money, with an ample supply provided that will last for quite some time. I should also add that this tape works well if it's sealed in a Ziploc bag, since it easily gathers loose dirt and lint.
The engine bay and the interior of the car have both seen use. I highly recommend this stuff. My experience says that it works well inside both the engine bay and the passenger compartment. You may untie it at the ends if you heat it (use caution! Make sure it's nice and hot before giving it a You should see some ooze oozing from the edges of the tape as well as your fingertips getting a bit burned. I think that will do.
In addition to rebuilding the motor on my Challenger, I decided to clean up the harness. As it came from the factory, it had been covered with a woven wire loom tied together with tape. Time and heat had eroded In the past couple years, I bought this tape and used it for some minor repairs on my car. It has held up well to the heat of the engine and my Although I have not seen what this looks like after the car has been driven for a few years, it does look very similar to the factory tape. It will stay stuck together if you get a good wrap on the tape. You can still get great results from the tape even if you get a bunch of dirt and grease in it and you don't squeeze the wraps tight enough, however, the performance is less. As long as you do your job correctly, it won't rip or stretch like electrical tape, and it'll keep its appearance and function. The more concerned you are with appearance, the more important it is to wash your hands after wrenching but before wrapping.
It was easy for me to install this on some new wiring in the engine bay on that, when I examined the tape side by side, I could not see any differences between the Tesa tape and OEM. The level of adhesion is just good enough so it won't stick to absolutely everything when installed in tight spaces but enough so that it will stay intact. Overall a great product.
There were quite a few mistakes that needed to be redone As part of the Chevelle wiring harness, I added relays to the headlamps as well. As the factory tape was ruined and I was adding wires to the mix, I needed some sort of re-tape In addition to wrapping my work, it would also be clean when I take some of it out later on for a LS swap. As a result of reviews, I purchased this stuff. Despite its benefits, I used friction tape since it was easily removed, but it was always too sticky to handle. I have been looking for something like this since I was a child. My understanding of electrical resistance is limited, but Super 33+ certainly exists for that purpose.
