8. Over wrap back towards the crimp end of the cable, again stretching the tape and
with 50 % overlap, leaving 5 cm covering the outer copper screen tape and black insulation
and 3 cm covering the black outer sheath. This should use approximately another 50 cm of
the tape. Wrap another 2 layers, again stretched with 50 % overlap back up to where the
black outer sheath ends, to build up the cable diameter and to smooth out transitions in
diameter Figure 24. Cut the tape and press down firmly to ensure it amalgamates with the
tape below it.
Figure 24.
9. Again using the semi-conductive tape, start stretching and wrapping over the aluminium
conductor strands and connection to the lower finial connector to start building up in
multiple layers. Continue wrapping the tape over the area shown to cover the last 3 cm of
the black insulation, over the lower finial connector and up to the black plastic section of
the mast base assembly in multiple layers, completely covering the crimp and achieving as
smooth and level a surface as possible, removing all sharp edges (Figure 25).
