do not use this on that! or what did i do wrong... F4 tape on battery terminal

@CS_AR i tried to re-wrap the battery terminal, was pulling the tape hard stretch and overlapping it, but then i checked it in a few hours and it all came undone
does humidity not work well on this, it was rather rancid here today, about 79% RH
si idk why it did not stick

the black electrical that was onit for so long just decided to start unraveling recently

 

Looks like it wasn't stretched out enough. Stretch it out like the guy in this video.

Almost looks like you left the plastic protective coating on it that you need to peel off.

 

is there double protective coating? one on each side?
i took one side off for sure, if there are 2 sides i FAILED again

 

I think there are, at least on other brands I have used there were.

 

well i honestly could NOT find any double coating to peel on that orange F4 stuff

had to resort to some swag blue electrical from china, its not even 3M grade lol

 

Honestly just take the terminal apart and go get a small length of 3:1 heat shrink.

 

will there be bad issues popping up with this swag blue china made electrical tape?
i put a serious amount of time and effort into that work right there

 

Heat shrink tube.

 

i am switching to woolWax now, i've had enough of that commie ff stuff!

 

Been a long time since ive seen that stuff..i think it has to be clean also to work right. Id shrink wrap

 

no intense cleaning was done to the terminal, i just went at it!
had multiple items to tackle

 

@GQ7227
Before you attempted, did you get a chance to see the 'how to' video that CS_AR posted in post #2?

 

i got down under to take a peek at the fan shroud to see what needs to be undone down low
but then i saw the driver side front suspension wheel area needed a good dosing of the woolWax, so i burned through half a can on that instead

 

looked at it again and saw i put it on upside down with the blue line up so that is how it did not stick?

 

Cool, yeah the video made it look pretty straightforward. So I was hoping you'd see the video and notice something you maybe hadn't done and need to or vice versa.
Cool, good to hear

 

CRC makes some red shit that you spray on the terminals and it freezes them in time from corrosion.

 

Doesn't matter about the blue line being in or out. Just need to stretch the tape out and then wrap it. I usually cut strips that are 8 to 10 inches. Peel off the backing, then start stretching the tape as I wrap. The stretched tape binds to itself. Once wrapped, the tape bonds to itself and form an airtight seal. It cannot be unwrapped.

I removed the old harness wrap, cleaned the wiring, and then rewapped the harness in it using F4 in black.

 

I'd like to add, heat shrink tube with adhesive on the inside (refereed to marine heat shrink?).
