Default Rubber for belt grinder drive wheel?

I have some of this tape. I think. There is little or no adhesive on
the tape...correct? I use it for wrapping a split bolt wire splices.
More rubber than tape. Same stuff?


It's called "self-sealing" or "self-vulcanizing" splicing tape. You should
_always_ have a roll in the shop. It's great for all sorts of friction
functions.


Are there any places which sell it for less than $19/roll?
I saw a guy at the Home Improvement Faire a few months ago who was
selling a couple rolls for $25. I was sure I could do better but then
forgot about it. The stuff does look handy.

So, who wholesales it? Oh, and what's the shelf life?
