I've repaired a lot of these, usually it's no big deal. The foil tape I use is the "Duck Tape" brand. Who knows how it compares to others, it's just the only brand I know of. Knowing a brand could make the stuff easier to find.
The tape might be very loose on the reel by now, just pull it taut if so and wind the extra length around the reel before installing the new splice. I've had a couple of tapes get tangled beyond hope because of this during transport.
