3M Temflex rubber splicing tape is a self fusing wrap that works well for handle wrapping, wire jobs, clamps, and DIY gasket projects. It sticks to itself, so the end does not need to be secured, and it is favored over electrical tape because it leaves no nasty residue or sticky mess when removed later. The tape is rated to 176 degrees Fahrenheit, so it is not the high heat option some silicone tapes are. The listing also appears to show gray rather than black, so the color should be checked before ordering.
Common Questions (4)
No adhesive residue is left behind because the tape has no adhesive and sticks only to itself. That makes it useful for wraps you may need to remove later, and it avoids the sticky, slimy mess electrical tape can leave in hot conditions.
You usually do not need to secure the end because the tape sticks to itself rather than using adhesive. That self-fusing behavior is what makes it work for handle wraps, clamps, and wire wraps without the end peeling loose.
Yes. It is used as a go-to wrap for knife and machete handles, and it has also been used for clamps and DIY gaskets. The extra thickness and self-sticking wrap make it practical for grip and protective wrapping.
It is rated to 176°F (80°C). That is much lower than typical fusing silicone tape rated around 500°F, so it is not the right choice for high-heat applications.

I use it this instead of electrical tape, especially in places where I know I might need to replace it in the future or where I need the extra thickness.
I actually have a roll of this that will not be used for its intended purpose, as well as two packs of hockey tape, but whenever I think about wrapping handles with tape, my brain just automatically goes straight to wads of sticky oozing electrical/duct tape slowly slipping and sliding away from their original position. Like the one on my steering wheel.
