Quote from: amptramp on July 18, 2024, 08:58:01 AMI have never seen fish paper with adhesive on it.  It sounds like we are talking about the same stuff other than the colour
Yes it's funny how there's local flavors for things.

I was thinking the link to fish came from chagreen, which is also tough and made from sharks skin.

Before vulcanized fiber, windings were wrapped in Kraft paper, a very high grade of brown paper bag stock. Cheap kraft paper is fancy fish-wrapping. Saying "fishpaper" for super-tough insulation is a bit of a joke.

Old transformers I took apart used paper impregnated with beeswax. All environmental friendly and usually they still work after 75 years.
