Where to get trace repair tape?

Radio Shack sells an overly expensive pen that I use for repairing traces, I just draw a new one from the break to the other side, seems to work ok...little ugly though.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a circuit works pen, I used it to fix a broken trace in an atari keyboard and that was fine, but don't think it will hold up to edge connector use. I have seen boards repaired with copper foil and that looks like a better long term fix.
 
MCM no longer has the copper tape.

You can call GC Electronics and get the information on the copper tape and where to purchase it. I used to go through tons of that tape fixing the edge foil on Pacman boards and Pole Position boards.
