Optional Antenna Support Bracket
Apply in half-lapped layers with enough tension (or stretch) to conform to the object
being wrapped.
Always use a minimum of two half-lapped layers with the last layer wrapped in a more
relaxed manner.
Apply with no tension on the last wrap to prevent end lift. The last 1 inch to 2 inches
should be allowed to relax before thumbing down to avoid flagging.
