Is this bad? Tape coming off pickup

[beaubrummels]

I bought proper cloth tape from Stew Mac. Even if it's not the cheapest option, it's cheaper than replacing the pickups if I damage the coil pulling tape on/off.

That's what I did. I waiting until I had a bigger order to justify the high shipping prices.

Amazon has some good pickup tape "12mm 100ft Insulating Acetate Cloth Adhesive Tape for Laptop Electric Automotive Guitar Repair" 10mm works for most pups. i use the 12mm though because most of pickups have 1.5x ceramic mags

I swear they double their income on the shipping charges alone. Shipping a roll of tape is like $8. I only order unless I am getting a lot more stuff.

Stewmac wants 30-35$ for copper adhesive tape for like 10’ or something. I found a 25’ roll from Wal mart for 10 bucks
