Can duct tape be used on electrical projects?
it can be used but i would not recommend it. I would recommend going out to lowes or home depot and getting electrical tape. It is better for electrical projects and it can cost less than duct tape.Electrical Tape provides stretching and waterproofing qualities, electrical tape is non-conductive and is used to cover and insulate electrical splices and for other electrical uses.Duct Tape should be used for its original purpose only - temporary, emergency repairs.Please do not take chances especially when dealing with electricity. Duct tape is not designed for electrical work. Stay safe and use the appropriate tools and materials for the job. In addition, if you are doing this yourself and the job is electrical home wiring (outlets, etc.), I would recommend you do not. In most states this requires a licensed electrician. Please to not put yourself and/or family in jeopardy, its just not worth it.
Can you replace electrical tape with duct tape to cover an exposed wire?
NO it is dangerous.
Is electrical tape a mixture?
Yes, most modern electrical tape is a mixture of polyvinyl chloride, one or more plasticizer chemicals, and a layer of adhesive. The old black electrical tape was usually cotton cloth (a mixture itself), unvulcanized rubber (a mixture itself), and a layer of adhesive. Before electrical tapes with an adhesive layer were developed a layer of unvulcanized rubber tape was wrapped around the joint then that was wrapped with a layer of friction tape (a mixture of cotton cloth and sticky unvulcanized rubber and sometimes an abrasive to increase friction) to keep it in place. The layer of unvulcanized rubber tape would slowly over time fuse with itself forming a one piece insulating rubber tube around the joint. However both it and the rubber in the friction tape would eventually deteriorate, crumble, and flake off exposing the wires!

What kind of tape should you use to tape a lacrosse stick?
I hope you mean on a lacrosse stick. Electrical tape would not make a very good stick of any kind, lacrosse or otherwise.That said... not especially, no. Electrical tape isn't really designed for that purpose, and the adhesive on most kinds doesn't work all that well on something that's handled frequently, particularly the plastic sorts (the cloth ones might work slightly better). It's likely to peel and/or get "gummy" after a while.
What is the purpose of insulation tape?
Insulation tape is used to protect exposed electrical conductors or wires. Another term for it would be electrical tape. It is wrapped around wires and other electrical conductors to protect them.
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
Does tape stick on crayon?

Where should you tape your field hockey stick?
First in the "sweet spot" where you should be hitting the ball with your stick consistently, near the toe. This is usually where you will see the most wear on your stick. Also I use electric tape to tape mine on the top and bottom of the grip, to prevent tearing and give the grip a longer life.
