+2 if it's not UL labeled it's not electrical tape 33+ well worth it.. (and you can use it for... electrical stuff!)
I worked in a shop in the mid 80s and the cheapo bikes (Royce Union? I forgot, we bought a container or 2 of them) we sold had ribbon tape (like benotto but CN version) top down, the Peugeots (our main brand) had bottom up. I do kinda miss the harlequin patterns and all the stuff you could do with benotto, but it was always like a recipe: 2 layers of cloth, start with 2 colors of benotto going opposite ways, etc..
Of course I spent a day with a chain tool (the plier type one, don't know if they still make it) and 3 chains making a red white and blue chain for my bmx bike so time wasn't the issue it seems to be now..
