Ricky49 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 lagging tapes chrome looking its more polished ally though Lagging/Ducting tape but its hard to keep the crease's out of it if the surface is not flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are others, like EMI shielding tapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Have you thought about this stuff, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/16mm-Conduit-Wire-Cable-Tidy-Split-Black-10-Metre-/310222806909?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item483ab85f7d Might be a little less messy and tacky than chrome tape.

tbourner Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 We use that at work all the time. Good stuff. We're looking for stuff to attach thermocouples with that doesn't lift. We use glue at the moment but get complaints about leaving solid glue on stuff! Is it any good at temperature do you know?

martini Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 We used it to thermally insulate (protect from solar radiation) our measurement inlet in Borneo. http://img.skitch.com/20100730-em6u5mh14j9q8gs5dwfbi4iup7.jpg I suppose it may leave behind a sticky residue due to the adhesive, but as far as protection from external heat sources goes - it's great.
