looked more closely, just the ends. i switching to this.
Very interesting about that tape.
You learn something new every day.
I have never seen it but will look out for it.
I do find even ordinary electrical tape will hold/adhere better when stretched.
I always presumed it was the elasticity/stored energy in the tape that helped it work.
