will it work for wrapping the main electrical cables under the hood (not the spark plug cables)

I don't see why not, as long as it's not on any open wires. I can't speak to the electrical conductivity of the tape. I know a lot of Formula 1 teams use it for various jobs, but not directly for electrical work. To be safe, I'd just use electrical tape - it's designed for a specific purpose.

Not recommended. If you're repairing insulation that's worn or cracked, use electrical tape, not gaff tape. If you need tape to organize multiple cables, either duct tape or electrical tape would be better than gaff tape -- the adhesive on gaff tape isn't very strong and doesn't last long. It's designed for temporary use, not long-term applications. (Kinda like painter's tape.)

I wouldn't. The best tape for that is electrical. This tape is cloth based fibers.

I'm thinking no. Number 1, because gaffers tape seems to be geared towards removal without residue, and 2, because it's not as sticky as duct tape. It's perfect for temporary adhesion (like soundmen or musicians), but not for more of a permanent application like hoses and electrical that will most certainly be exposed to the elements.

Yes it will work awesome just make sure you clean the surface well with rubbing alcohol, take your time placing it and use a heat gun or hair dryer..... Obviously will want a big enough size to cover the entire hood as well

It should work fine for this purpose. I've been using this type of tape for over 24 years as electrical tape for aircraft applications. I stopped buying the traditional electric tape years ago, because it fails even in moderate heat applications. For beefing up the end of USB cables, this should be great, and you won't have the sticky mess that electrical tape usually makes after a short period of time. F4 tape (self sealing silicon tape) also works well for sealing small low pressure tubing.

Yes as long as it's a USB. There are 4 ports under the back hood. However it's not a reliable product.

Yes it will, plug the cords together and then screw the connector ends together for a snug hold. Works great and is weather proof.

Routing the cable depends on the vehicle you are putting it into. The Genius comes with a plug for the cigarette lighter and on both vehicles I installed the camera, I was able to push the wire between the windshield and the plastic molding. I followed the wire down the windshield to the bottom of the doorpost and then was able to push it under the door weatherstripping until the bottom of the dash. From there I found a way to route it under the glove box to the center console. Now the only wire that shows is from the plug in the cigarette lighter to where it goes under the dash (about 6"). It takes a little patience and innovation to hide it neatly.

It can but personally me, I would not do that. It gets sticky after awhile so when you plan on removing it, all the leftover adhesive would be on the wires. Heat sleeve or if you don't mind wasting more of the wrap. Double lay the wrap on adhesive on adhesive, the wrap it so there is not mess and zip tie the ends

No, you need something specifically designed for that. Look under car starting battery or charger

I would say yes but am not sure, so tell I will you why. It works by plugging 2 leads into the fuse box, so if you can connect it where the 2 house wires meet, perhaps at the junction box or the breaker box AND THE ENTIRE HOUSE HAS NO ELECTRICITY, then I suspect it should as it is simply reading where the break is, but the car grounds to the body or frame and that may make a difference. I am not sure. Harbor Freight I think has a tool that may work on the house. I am curious. Could you let me know? hgj@jasneflorio.com

It should do fine on the PVC coated electrical wires (yellow, red, blue, white) from the ballast to electric supply or other ballasts in the series, which are basically 16-20 (AWG). I haven't tried the cloth coated ones.

The switch can be used for that using the ground wire. That is what I used to activate my under hood led light.

If it is in the center section yes it will. There is a little more than two inches of clearance there, so it will be a little snug behind the console to plug something in.

Yes. This cable is self regulating to make sure there are no hot spots/burn outs. The cover picture on our box shows foam insulation over the tape installed on a pipe.Hope this Helps Mike.

Sorry. I haven't used it for that. I would imagine though it would work. It does work on electrical wire heat shrink. Sorry I could not be of help.

no, this one is usually used inside a vehicle,but even under the hood it doesn't need to be covered,if you are submerging your vehicle,you will need a much more complex fuse panel!

Yes it will, I have used my cable several times where my trailer cable will not reach the electrical box and have had no issues.

Hi Carole or Charles, the power cord kit works very well. However, you do not need it for the kitchen hood installation as my electrician wired it directly into the electricial outlet. He re-wired it once I got the power cord kit, but it was not necessary for the kitchen hood to work.
