Anybody found anything else that works better than electrical tape for finishing bars? Thanks!
If you use good electrical tape (like the aforementioned 3M branded version), and trim down the outer end into a long triangle (so that the last bit of sticky tape to wrap on comes to a tip), there shouldn't be any unwinding and exposed adhesive. You also need to tension the tape but not excessively.
Or you can spend $10 and get a
cleaner solution. Too bad they discontinued the white color.
