Was this is response to the thread a couple of months ago?
Paper tape is still available from several suppliers, though only a few
companies still actually make it. However, not all modern "oiled" tape
uses resin -- some manufacturers do still use oil, according to the
company in the UK who are getting me some (from Germany). Resin is an
effective barrier, but worse than useless as a lubricant.
