I use regular 2" adhesive aluminum tape--the cheapest
Lowe's/Wal-Mart variety. I don't know the conductive
properties of the adhesive, but at Tesla coil
voltages, it doesn't matter.  Also, if you apply the
tape radially, you can use a conductive center disk to
make good contact with every band of tape. Cheap
aluminum tape works fine, see an example at:
