In a break in a communication cable having individual information transmitting members it is necessary to join the individual transmitting members and to repair the cable. After the individual transmitting members have been joined a splice case is positioned around the communication cable. The splice case protects the cable from the elements. A sizing tape can be wrapped around the splice and also around the cables before being positioned in an end seal and also around the end seal before being positioned in the splice case. The sizing tape may include two commercially available materials such as a flexible yieldable base and a friction material on the base. The base has a first surface and a second surface. If a friction material is bused it is positioned on the first surface and bonds and adheres to the first surface and is integral with the first surface. The friction material does not bond and is not integral with the second surface. This makes it possible for the sizing tape to be made into a roll for ease of use and carrying. The friction material assists in positioning the sizing tape on the cable and also on the end seal, but it is not essential to the sealing or gripping function of the sizing tape.
