i would go as far down as possible mate. you're not gonna use the wrap for anything else, so you might as well just chuck it all on?

bear in mind though, if you go over a join, you'll have to unwrap it to get to the join

We use this company for thermo tec products.

Not sure how the prices compare to D/T as I'm being special and can't get the pricing to work on D/T's site
