Home Depot or Lowes sell a rubber tape that has no "sticky" back, but you can wrap that spring, and the end area of the tape can be finished off using the regular electrical tape. It would, for sure, last a good while, as the rubber is good quality and a lot more durable than the 2mil tape. I did, at one time find the self-vulcanizing rubber tape at HomeDepot, but lately, have not been able to find it. That one would stick to itself, with no adhesive, and was a perfect fix, but too bad, I don't know where it can be purchased right now.
