Hi Joe,

I'm sorry I can't answer your question but I have an adder to your question.

Many years ago I was told that flat braid lacing was impregnated with rat
poison because if a rodent got into an aircraft it could cause havoc with
the wiring. Eating the lacing which was poisoned and the easiest to eat
would kill them. Any truth to that tale?

I to would like to know the answer to your original question.

Subject: [TN] Lacing Tape, wax impregnated or not

Good morning All.

 

Nylon flat braid lacing tape per Mil-T-43435 is used to securing wires,
etc. and comes either wax impregnated or not.  Everyone has an opinion
on when wax impregnated should be used and when the non-wax impregnated
lacing flat tape should be used based on experience.  As far as I know,
the wax impregnated tape is used to secure wires and the wax helps keep
the lacing tape in place.

 

I would like to hear further comment from users.  thanks

 

Best Regards,

-Joe M.
