such as what they have here:

You could try westnc.com, they used to sell splicing kits.

Thanks. I sent them an inquiry.
If need be I will use a very thin tape and punch the holes manually, but I
much prefer the old teletype repair tape or something like it that comes
"pre-holed" so you can line up the holes to the existing tape.

I found mine on eBay, probably around a year ago. I searched for a long time before I
found it. Another hen's tooth that I would like to find is a magtape end
clipper/crimper, but I'm even less likely to find one since I'm taking an eBay
vacation.
Good luck!

I have a DEC 9-track tape crimper (part # 47-00038). There's one
apparently on ebay now for $3.99 which sounds like
a steal as the next hit is a website offering one for the low, low price
of $126.97.

I have actually bought such hand punching kits in charity shops (thrift stores) in
the UK -- but about 15 years ago. No, the ones I have are not for sale, I still use
paper tape a lot...
For a splicing jig it's worth remembering that the holes on normal paper tape are
on 0.1" matrix so a line of pins soldered to a scrap of stripboard can be used to
hold the sprocket holes in alignment. Of course you need the pre-punched sticky
tape, but its one part you can easily make.
