SORRY! I was talking about 2 different things here: 1) Shimming the front derailleur using strips of pop cans and 2) rim strip. You can use electrical tape for rim strip, but it gets sticky and nasty over time... proper rim strip is only like $2...
As for shims for your front derailleur, you can cut out aluminum strips from pop cans...
