   	Aluminium tape is sold in builder's merchants for taping insulation   
   boards for air tightness (I used several rolls of it insulating my house),   
   it also sometimes gets used to seal air duct joins.

   	It can sometimes be found in garden centres as gardeners use it for   
   slug/snail repellent, it is also used for making stained glass and   
   repairing electrical toys like Scalextric track. Copper tape comes in a very   
   wide variety of widths unlike aluminium tape, I have 6mm, 10mm and 50mm   
   rolls to hand.
