Tips, Tricks & How-Tos
|
|
Liquid Tape is literally a liquid version of electrical tape. Purchased at Home Depot and manufactured by (Gardner Bender), the color options were black or green, but I think red is also an option. This stuff is extremely toxic-smelling and I would only apply it with good ventilation at a spray booth so the fumes are pulled away from you.
As for the application technique, you are bound to get brush marks using the applicator brush that is provided. But, for a more even coating, several coats of this stuff would help along with maybe applying it more thickly. Also, make sure to let it dry thoroughly (so it's not still tacky) before handling it. While it is drying, it is really fragile and you can still peel it off. When its dry it does remain flexible as advertised.
