Self-amalgamating tape is tops, but benefits from a top layer of PVC/ electrical insulating tape.
Stops it from self-amalgamating with anything else......
Mine has been on for years with no covering and it hasn't stuck to anything else. I'd avoid PVC insulating tape for anything, including insulating - it's revolting stuff.
I had mine self-amalgamate themselves to the rubber inserts one finds on Hope Vision One clamps.
It stopped being an issue when I changed from using Hope clamps, to using Exposure ones for attaching the lights.
I have no fondness for PVC. Not for insulation nor apparel.
