+1 for self amalgamating tape, I find the 19mm wide more usable than the more common 25mm stuff.. I use it on satellite cable joints and any out door cabling. If I have to cable tie any wiring to motorbike frame I also put a few turns around cables as a 'cushion' to stop wiring insulation from moving and chafing.
