That's true but doesn't that refer to the *pigment* used? The color
might fade but the material itself doesn't necessarily "fade". I confess that
I don't have any longterm experience with Liquid Electrical Tape of any color.
I started using a non-black color when I realized that when applying
black LET on black electrical tape, I couldn't tell where I had painted and
where I hadn't. Now THAT'S a pain.
