Kapton tape Apples uses all over on G4 notebooks

[Unknown_K]

Do you guys buy new Kapton tape pieces when reworking G4 Ibook/Powerbooks? Apples seems to love using that stuff to keep cables plugged in.

I just reuse it most of the time.

I use ¾" or ½" 3M 8403 tape when the original tape no longer holds. I have it on hand already as splicing tape for film processing and for securing thermal/dye sublimation transfers to blanks. It's a polyester tape with silicone adhesive. It's a bit thicker/stiffer than the original Kapton tape, but holds up very well. EDIT: typogrdhdhn errors

You can get rolls of Kapton tape from ebay for a couple dollars.

I purchased a few rolls from ebay, seems to be ok.

I reuse where I can, or if damaged remove and replace with some electrical tape.
