I bought mine in Sweden. Something like $3 for a 4" diameter roll of
1/2" tape. Now I remember why! Don't count on it being possible
to split the roll. The tape I have is rolled with a protective plastic,
much like any tape with adhesive on two sides. Unrolling it will
expose one of the surfaces.

For anybody is travelling to Sweden or Norway: I bought it at Claes
Ohlsson. Claes Ohlsson is the Sears of Sweden. Similar story:
Poor country boy starts selling clocks, and gets into mail order.
Now also has stores in the major cities.

While at a Claes Ohlsson store you can also pick up dirt cheap metric
fasteners, stainless and regular, Spare in-tank water pump for your Westy 
($15), DMM (throw away stupid test lights etc.) ($15), and countless other
items which won't impress your significant other. You can also buy baseboll 
caps with their motto (translated) "We make men into boys".
