I’m “coloring” my cables so I can know what cable is each one.

@fonso_s From experience I can tell you this is going to be a sticky mess with most tapes. 😅

@trinsec I know, but I hope this scrapbooking tapes don’t make a mess 😅

@fonso_s I always worry that chemicals in the glue on the tape will damage the sheath on the cable.

@hendrikboom3 this cables have several years and won’t move or be very visible, so I don’t mind if they spoil a bit.

@fonso_s It’s not visibility that worried me. It’s whether chemical attack might affect their function. Your experience suggests this isn’t a problem in practice.

@fonso_s That’s a lot of work! I prefer just guessing. :)

@hasmis It’s been a while working, but it took me the same time to know which of all the black wires was the one I needed the other day.
