insulating tape
Wire-wrapping sticky strip
Insulating tape is a flexible adhesive tape used to wrap electrical wires and connections, preventing short circuits and protecting against shock.
The tape is typically made of vinyl or rubber and stretches slightly to conform to irregular surfaces.
Also called electrical tape.
Wrap the splice with insulating tape before closing the junction box.
