It's called Guideline tape-pinkish in colour with a stripe in the center.We
use it instead of insulation tape in the aviation industry(especially
Avionics).You might try a store that deals in aviation products.
Hope this helps

        You are very welcome.  Glad I could help.  What I did, was got some
silicone based tape (can't remember the name and threw the package away)
That when it touches itself (during wrapping) it will bind itself into a
solid piece.  Sorry that I can't remember more.  Maybe if you asked at your
FLAP's they could tell you.

        <snip> Anyhow, thinking about just wrapping with black plastic
electrical tape. Is that what you did?
