We've chosen to remain neutral in the controversy attached to the original term used to describe this type of tape. The original term for this product, short for \"Pakistani\", was coined by US troops and others who saw the tape — unfortunately, in places like the UK and Sweden, the term is regarded as an offensive racial slur towards the people of Pakistan. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAlways exercise caution around hot objects, even when using this tape.\u003c\/span\u003e We use gloves while shooting to ensure our hands don't get burned by hot barrels or gas tubes. While the tape will insulate against heat, it's not a proven protective solution for fire retardancy or heat.
