The technical term for that stuff is "Monkeyshit."

...Not to be confused with "Gorilla Snot," which is the 3M weatherstrip adhesive in the tube... (Gorilla Snot comes in yellow and black..)
(These official technical terms can be verified with anyone who was a GM line mechanic in the 1970's - fact, not fiction...)

A/C tar sealant

I think that what you want is : Sherco-Auto A/C Black Insulating PresTite Tacky Tar Cork Expansion Valve Tape 1/8" x2"x30' $28.13
I bought some of this stuff years ago (not from them) and it is still a bit sticky. You don't need a lot of it, but they sell it is a roll.
