Absolutely! We shouldn't be exporting Scotch to any place that uses 
three-digit thermometers.

Back on topic, there have been several different kinds of 
self-amalgamating tape over the years. The very old 'rubbery' kind was 
severely affected by UV and weathering, but most of the more modern 
tapes are nothing like so badly affected.

Unfortunately, many of the more modern tapes don't have the same 'grab' 
- either to themselves or to cable jackets - that some of the older ones 
had.
