Is there anything available at Home Depot or a hardware type store that would substitute for rigging tape? I am installing a Harken furling line kit, the stantion blocks are 1" and my bow/stern rails are 7/8". The kit says it will work 7/8" if you put rigging tape under it but there is no store near me that carries it and I hate to have to order 1 item. Anybody have any ideas?
Under serious heat and UV, I find electrical tape glue will melt and get gross. That's the advantage of rigging tape. There might be other UV resistant tape.

I though of electrical but I don't want all the goo it will leave on my rail. I saw some sort of silicon tape that will supposedly stick only to itself and nothing else, I was thinking of trying that. If I have to I will order it and just wait but I would really rather not, I want to get this done tomorrow.
