Default Preserving electrical tape?

Seems like every time I need some electical tape the roll is dried out and
won't stick. I use it rarely - perhaps only once a year - so I can't really
blame it - even though it's name brand - 3M.

Anyone know how to make it last longer? I keep it in a closed plastic box.
Perhaps the refrigerator, which works for batteries? I hate to keep buying
new rolls of electric or soft rubber tapes just for one use.

Ideas? Tips?

TIA
