Does Scotch Tape conduct electricity or interfere with electrical circuits?

I was building a circuit, and at one point it stopped working completely. confused, I undid everything I had done since it last worked, including removing a large amount of scotch tape that was contacting both positive and negative leads. Other than that I made no changes to the circuit, I did not detect any bad contacts or wires, so the only thing that I can conclude is that the scotch tape was actually conducting electricity and shorting out my circuit. Oddly, very little information is on google about scotch tape being a conductor. Im guessing nobody is going to know, but I thought I'd ask anyway just in case.
