I break down seven dangerous ways DIYers misuse electrical tapeāfrom treating it as a cure-all to hiding a cord splice behind the couch that should not exist. I also show how I approach each safety check with a flashlight, plug-in tester, or cover plate only after switching the breaker off and proving the circuit is dead.
In this video, I cover:
The jobs electrical tape was never designed to handle
Two mistakes I expect many DIYers have already made
Why a cord splice behind furniture can be a serious problem
How I distinguish proper insulating tape from a temporary-looking fix
Why none of these checks require opening the panel cover
