Back to tape "bombs"....
Is there a level at which they can be acceptable? I've done several long lasting mower/hedgecutter lead repairs with individually tape wrapped staggered in-line twisted and soldered joints with a further good wrap of tape round the lot. They never caused any problems in use.
Nowadays I do the same only using heatshrink instead of insulating tape.
