Does it get as hot as 115 regularly in the summer? It does here in AZ and I have no problem with tape, except the real cheap stuff.

I agree with insanity. Humidity is a bitch! Try using zip ties over the tape after you wrap it to keep it from unraveling. I'm in New Orleans and the humidity here also is almost always 90% or more. Most of New Orleans was built on a swamp. You can fill in a swamp, but you still have the humidity, heat, AND the dam mosquitos, lol! Thats why I hate doing installs outdoors in the summer. You sweat so much you cant even see beacuse the sweat gets in your eyes. In dry climates like AZ, the sweat evaporates very quickly.
