I don't know about thermal tape, but how about thermal grease that computer building hobbyists use when installing heatsinks on their processors? Wouldn't that be a better choice?

Thermal tape (not to be confused with thermal paper tape) can be found all over the net. I'd bet you could even get a small quantity off ebay fairly cheap. There used to be a place in Edmonton....I can't remember the name of it,but they were a distributor for Arctic (Silver), you could probably google it.
