Do you think that Teflon tape wrapped aroung a core would behave, more, like an air-articulated Teflon. Or, would there be more deleterious effects because the Teflon, most likely would not be as uniform in thickness as Teflon tubing? TIA
Follow Ups:
teflon is soft, so soft it creeps - flows over days, weeks, years under the least mechanical pressure, plumbers tape is ment to do this to seal pipe thread but in electrical insulation the tension of wire winding can cause the tape to thin to the point of electrical breakdown
I use teflon plumber's tape as an insulation all the time. One of my fave tricks is to take RatShack gold interconnect and slice off the outer PVC jacket, then wrap with three or four thicknesses of teflon tape, and then cloth braid. This is very good sounding wire, and removal of the PVC cures the harshness. It's my regular wire for inside chassis, from the jacks up to the selector switch.It's very thin; if you want serious insulation, you have to use many layers.

I've used it, but the plumber's tape's nonagressive self-stick and ability to form fit make it really nice for a lot of apps. Just have to wind a bit of it on there.Thanks,

I've used the tape for car radio installations becuse you can bundle all the wires leaving the head unit into one big cable via the tape. this makes it much harder to cut the wires if it is being stolen. Plus. it makes it easier to keep track of the wires running through the dash. you can also find colored tape to use , although I've never used it.
