You will be OK with the blade then. Aircraft mechanics understand that "Bring it in again tomorrow and we''l see what we can do." is not an acceptable outcome.

I was plant engineer for a manufacturing company years ago and one of my mechanics was lamenting that when he told people he was a mechanic they asked "at what dealership?" and were less than impressed when he told them he worked in a mill. I told him to next time tell them he "repaired multi-million dollar machines that had to run 24/7 for the next 6-12 months when he was done--not cars". 

Re: the tape, as a substitute I'd use UHMW tape like this stuff. It has good adhesion and nothing sticks to its outer surface. I keep a roll on hand and find more uses for it than you'd think.
