I know to only use electrical tape to cover electrical connections but since it peels over time could I use a layer of packaging tape wrapped around the outside of the electrical tape so it won't peel?
No. Properly applied vinyl electrical tape does not peel off! I've used it since the 1970's, and never encountered a peeling problem unless the tape was too old and the adhesive was drying. I have seen where it was used by someone else and it peeled off, but it was obviously not correctly used in those cases (e.g. too loose, adhesive stuck to itself). <<>> I have come across applications where the cheap Chinese brands are so thin that you can almost read through them. When the tape gets warm the adhesive breaks down and the tape starts to unwrap. Stop using this type of product on electrical connections. Stay with a brand like 3M that states what the thickness is on the tape package. It is stated in mils thickness. If you want to make a professional splice, first use amalgamation tape. When it ad-hears to its self it turns into a solid mass of rubber. Then over top of that rubber tape use the 3M black tape. The 3M black tape has UV rating so as not to break down in the sunlight.
