Bodge ? I thought this was a solution of choice among all discerning D-I-Y ers. For an even more sophisticated effect, if the cable is first run against a straight edge on the floor and is tacked down at intervals with short bits of sellotape, then the duct tape can be laid down using the straight edge running parallel to the cable as a guide. One edge should be first be stuck down and then the tape can be moulded over the cable before being sticking down the other edge.
