That reminds me of the "gel sealing tape" suppliers used to sell, which was nothing more than 3M yellow electrical tape. What are using the tape for? Is it for storing plates that you poured or for keeping a plate of colonies around for awhile? If the former, I found that just stuffing them back in the plastic sleeve they came in to be satisfactory (they last at least as long as the antibiotic in the medium) and if the latter, Parafilm works well, as suggested by others.
