Yeah but it's not an electrical thing, though.

It could be in the right cirumstances.   Sort of like anything can be a butt plug if you are brave enough.

I'm sorry but that is circular logic. People's lives are on the line, man.

So Donk, remind us why we were supposed to miss you while you were detained.

The tape may be for handling. Those little individual wires are prickly & disproportionally painful when they stick you.

Perhaps you should consider Holloway instead of Gator-Laid for your slings?

I was taught to never run my bare hand down aircraft control cables. Use a cloth instead and count the snags. Many cables had allowable limits of the number of snags per foot as long as they were spread out and not all grouped near something like a turnbuckle.

Yep.  I taught Ryan to use a cotton ball on the inside of his tires to look for whatever caused the flat.   An old t shirt works too.   Heck your hand works but sucking on a bloody finger that taste like tire/tube is no fun.

It’s 10 broken strands (single wire) for us, no flat spots (where the cable went over a steel edge) or birdcaging.
