I order it on-line these days. usually RV stores have it. Make sure you get gray colored tape as it makes MUCH less of a mess than black does. The flat stuff is sometimes referred to as butyl ribbon tape..
Make sure you get butyl tape and NOT foam weather stripping... I bought a case of it about ten years ago and it's still going!!
My entire boat was done with butyl tape from the factory and even at 29 years my genoa tracks are still BONE dry! Most builders did not use it because it's more labor intensive and more costly..
