Teflon tape isn't something you get at the hardware store. It's kind of industrial use only tape. Here is where you can get it.

There is a US web site as well

While made by 3M it's not Scotch tape. It's $70 a roll!
For those who have problems getting it applied from the dealer, there's cheaper "low friction" tapes available that might be worth a try. I bought some for my woodshop once, although for the life of me I can't remember exactly why.

Here's one example for $12, there's more on amazon/google.
