Great points about Teflon tape. From memory, some of it is rated to 400V along with a very high heat rating. I took a look at my stash, and a couple of rolls are even marked "mil-spec"....and that's ordinary, Home Depot or Ace Hardware-bought tape. In other words, it's inherently safe.
because you continue to rail on about labor as if it were free
And a special thank you for saying this. Such an attitude is far too prevalent, and I've seen it for decades. Yes, perhaps there are abuses within the industry/hobby re: pricing, but very small economy of scale is something also not taken into consideration. While I build a modest amount of labor into my products, to be fair to my effort, I certainly am not going to work for 50 cents an hour. I am thankful many appreciate that effort, but understand there will always be those who don't.
