Need some thin copper tape (adhesive foil), about 1 or 1.5 inches wide, about

I'd be willing to buy a roll for this one-time use, but all I see is the 3M
stuff at $30-plus. Samples from vendors seem to be a thing of the past.

Is there any non-3M tapes available?

Thanks,

This might sound strange, but check out garden supply shops. Copper
tape is used to put around plant pots to stop slugs crawling up them -
they don't like copper!
