Not sure what tape your speaking of. First thought was double sticky tape, but I'm not sure what that would be used for?
Mentioning the compressor, I bought a small compressor:

I highly recommend this one. It aired up one of my tires on my Cougar from dead flat in about 2 minutes! Has it's own bag and fit's nicely in the cobra trunk and all for 25 bucks!
