[ARC5] Silicone Tape

I have been working to replace the master switch in my airplane and found that they used friction tape to cover where the ring terminals mate to the switch.  This was a wise precaution to prevent shorts, but I don't have any friction tape, don't know where you could buy any, and I am unimpressed with the "electrical tape" I have found - it's not very sticky and probably would fall off.
 
I am using heat shrink tubing for the two smaller ring terminals (the switch is an AN3023-2 DPST) but for the big ones I have not found any of the tubing that is large enough.

Do y'all recommend that silicone tape that sticks only to itself?  I think I have a small roll of that from Radio Shack.

Thanks,

Wayne
