What are recommended adhesive tapes to use?

[theojt]

I'm digging into some low cost (i.e. broken) TV's for fun. Was wondering what people use for various tapes that are encountered. There seem to be 4 types:

Thermally conductive (for fastening heatsinks to IC/components)
Electrically conductive (for ground braids)
Reinforced, non-conductive tape (general use to secure wires)
Heat resistant (for reballing primarily) - Kapton tape seems to be the standard

They seem to be higher quality tape that won't get gummy when exposed to heat, and won't dry out over time.

Looking for recommended brands/types....TIA!

Re: What are recommended adhesive tapes to use?

I never replace any of the adhesive tapes. If they don't stick when I try to reuse the original ones, I just remove them and put the monitor back together as is. Never been a problem so far.

Only exception would be the thermal pads/adhesives, perhaps - those I always keep the original unless they are so bad that they are crumbling apart - then I might try to replace them. But I've never had any like that. On laptops, I replace the NB thermal pads with shims or just add extra thermal paste to the silicone pad if it's gotten too thin.
