Conforming tape

A few years ago I bought some tape - I 'think' it was butyl-something - from
Tandy, which you'd stretch and wrap around cables, then cure with heat by
just holding your hand around it. It wasn't adhesive, it sort of bonded to
itself. Worked great.
Now I can't seem to find it. Could anyone tell me what the stuff is actually
called, or where I might find some?

I wouldn't write off ebay. It is different stuff but you can get quite a
bit for the same price that jaycar is asking for one roll.

Or 3M Scotch 23 Rubber Splicing Tape. The rubberizing is triggered by
stretching it as you wrap it around the joint, rather than by heat as such.
At a hardware store near you (or RS or Farnell in a pinch). I bought some
(butyl-something :-) tape just the other day to do some repairs to my deck,
but I don't recall what it's called. Got it at Bunnings.

$12.25, 0.5mm x 19mm x 10M.
