Rubber electrician's splicing tape is RUBBER, slightly self-adhesive, wound on the roll with a plastic backing. You cut off a couple inches, peel off the backing, give the rubber a stretch, and wrap your graft. (I use just 2 long slanting cuts-- 1 on the scion, & 1 on the stock.) It holds snug and seals, if you wrap beyond the union's ends. It degrades enough w/in a growing season to not worry about it. (In several years, I think I had ONE fall off a little too soon, and ONE stay on a little too long !)
