Hey everyone, I have some kapton tape and a silicon sleeve for the hotend, and I was wanting to rewrap the kapton tape because it's a little bit damaged. I have always seen the kapton tape wrapped only in one direction and I was wondering why? What would happen if I cross-wrap it so to speak? I wanna use two pieces of tape instead of one. Wrap one around the hotend several times and then wrap another piece perpendicularly so all four sides are covered with kapton tape and sealed. Does anyone know a better way of explaining this lol? I'm guessing better insulation, and I'm only asking because I haven't seen it done before.

Also is there a better insulator for hotends than kapton tape?
