Was looking for some 'heli tape' to stop the cables rubbing on the paintwork, came across this clear gorilla tape. Would it be something like the 'helicopter tape'??

It will do the job.

I bought the 3m heli tape strip on ebay - it's done a full MTB. It bonds rather well to paint, so if it's been on some time, and you want to remove it, use a hair dryer to soften it.

Gorilla tape is thinner but will do the job.

Used to work for an adhesive tape manufacturer....

You need UV stable product such as "helicopter tape". Your standard clear tape isn't UV stable so it will go yellow over time and will lose its adhesive properties

I remember we had a huge warranty issue with our "helicopter tape" that was used to prevent chips on cars like Ferraris...only it wasn't sufficiently UV stable and it went yellow
