No. When you splice a ground it needs to be made by accepted means and the splice must be inspectable. Covering the splice with tape prevents inspection.

How does tape conduct electricity?

HOW DO YOU connect cut wires?
If you are referring to the connection of simple household electrical wires, and there is some slack in them, this is easy! You will need to skin the covering of the the wire with a knife first. The easiest way to do this is to carefully carve a small circle around the covering and then slide it off to expose the bare wire. Do this on both halves of the wire and then put the bare wire side by side and twist it. Now cover the twisted part with ELECTRICAL tape, making sure that NO bare wire is exposed. Wrap extra electrical tape around the spliced area to strengthen the repair. If there isn't any slack in the wires, find a piece of wire of the same gauge and just splice it into the gap on both ends as above. I hope this answers your question. If the wires are carrying a heavy load, replace the wire instead.... See discuss question.
Will electrical tape shrink?
There are many grades of electrical tape. Rolls from China are very thin and the adhesive does not have sticking power. This type of tape will shrink. It will also break down when exposed to sunlight as there is no UV component add when the tape is manufactured. Stick to 3M or an equivalent manufacturer. Their tape is treated for UV protection and will last years in direct sunlight. All tape will shrink when exposed to a heat source

Will dielectric prevent water from getting in a connection on a transmitter antenna?
The best material to use on these types of connections is a rubber amalgamation tape. This can be purchased at any electrical supply house. After applying the rubber tape overlay it with ordinary electrical tape. The electrical tape has UV protection that will stand up under the sunshine and protect the rubber tape. When the electrical tape starts to look dried out and starts to crack just re install new electrical tape, the rubber tape will be alright and not need to be replaced.
