Home Depot here has Nashua silicone tape. It's specs are same as Rescue Tape brand. In the store here, it is stocked with other tapes, regardless of use. If you vouch that it is as good, I'll buy it next need, as it is less costly (though not inexpensive). Right now, I have plenty of the RT stuff.

By the way, I tried RT on a water line under a home sink (the line to a sprayer), hoping to get a patch that would hold, and not have to replace. The hole was at a bend right at where the line attaches to the actual water line, and I simply could not wrap tightly enough in that location. Kept leaking through the wraps. So, an expensive attempt to save work.

You'd think an old retired fart would have learned to always do it right the first time.
