While we're on the subject of taping, does anybody do the "I'll wrap tape around the receptacle or switch to cover the terminals so handy homowner doesn't accidentally touch them with a screwdriver while preparing to paint the walls or for some other reason" method?
I very rarely tape devices - the one case I can think
of was a crowded 4-gang box with 4 three-way switches,
4 two-wire cables and 4 three wires for the travelers.
I wrapped the switches with tape over the screws on
the chance something would touch one of the many
bare ground wires since there were 8 romex cables
in the box. That's the only time I have taped devices in recent memory. I had to use two wirenuts for all the
grounds (but I didn't tape the wirenuts!)
