i used the exact same on my rs,id say 3-4 rolls to be safe,probally get it done with 2-3 but better to have some spare,very good tape

how does it actualy stick though? is there a bit you peel off?

[davidfox280585]

no mate,it isn really that sticky just roll it on,it obviously has adhesive just not like crappy electrical tape,you wont be disapointed

Yes, it's self adhesive like insulting tape, but creates a much nicer finish to the loom. Where regular insulting tape often loses it's sticky and becomes a nasty horrible mess after a while, this stuff stays stuck and nice and tidy.

It's not a great insulator, but is good for making tidy looms. It's not heat resistant, and it doesn't like water.

Wrapped spirally on a "loose" helix, it looks nice. Though average applications on a typical loom made up of all sorts of different wires, you get this:

I'm planning to wrap the complete loom so you can't see the wires
