I want to clean up some wires by wrapping them up.

Is there any tape that doesn't get all gooey like electrical tape does?

i like to use wire loom, that what i call it i dont know what its really called. But you can get it in any colors. Its just plastic flexible pipe with a slit down the center and you can get it in differnt sizes and just put the wires in it and it looks real clean when its done.

you can get "sticky less" wrap, looks just like black electrical tape except no sticky...the factory uses this type of wire harness wrap.
It's available from www.wiringharness.com
You can get it in 1/2" 3/4" 1" 1-1/4" ( i think)

If you use wire loom...it comes in 2 flavors.
PLASTIC and NYLON. Between the two, the better one is nylon.
Nylon has a higher temperature resistance and lasts much longer, it wont get brittle and fall apart. The easiest way to tell them apart, the nylon will usually come with a grey stripe down the lenght of the loom. It can be purchased as split loom or non-split. A good source for this is www.terminalsupply.com and/or www.waytekwire.com
