Need some Kapton tape

I only need a thin strip or two. Is there a roll hiding in the electronics room or elsewhere in the building?

Oh! No. Actually there isn’t. My bad. I’ll look into that

Hopefully I can make do without it. I need a way to fix a ribbon cable in place when the latch on its connector is missing or broken.

There used to be some in the @FabLab because it was used in some of the 3D printers.

Thank you. I’ll look around in the FabLab.

Since the Kapton was not immediately to hand, I made a shim for the ribbon cable from a sliver of thin plastic and some double-sided tape, which helped it to fit snugly.

any luck?

I’ll add a roll to my bag for Maker Monday. I have a few laying around for 3d printing since Kapton still works great for making sure large ABS parts stick to a heated aluminum bed.
