I need 2 yards of cooper tape

I've used cooper tape from Hobby Lobby for a routed track and it worked pretty well. I'm using the same tape on another project but it's not making a good connection. Does anyone have a better tape that they would like to sell me about 2 yds?
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,
It's not often that I can help someone with equipment.
I have a roll of 1/4" copper tape with conductive backing. I did my entire track with it.
When ever there is a problem I just snip enough to cover the break and away I go.
Kids can be rough on a track. I keep a roll on hand.
www. tapesmaster.com
1/4" x55yds copper foil tape (6mmx50mm)
$11.25 per roll (in 2014)
If you would like 6', let me know.
You have been there for me, even when I am on vacation.

Thanks Frank. I normally do the same but for this application, that's not working. Let's see what bibs has. Thanks again.

I think a lot of folks overpay for copper tape. I usually pay $6-$8 a roll for the thicker, high quality 1/4" stuff from Venture, and less when I get quantity. I use it for stained glass that I do for door inserts on custom furniture I design and build.
