Thanks for the clarification. I wonder if it is tape they have on board specifically for this kind of thing, or whether they just repurposed tape used for insulating electrical work on the ISS?



Probably kind of both. Kapton tape is extremely tough and useful for a lot of things. It's pretty common in space applications, they probably had it around for a variety of uses.
