I have a roll of this. Good for when the liquid just won't do (runs off too fast), but it's not for thread repair. 

Also, very expensive ($20+ for a roll).

Loctite has a product called Quicktape 249. I have not used it but it 
is a medium strength thread locker tape like there blue liquid 
product. I believe it would be good for your application. Check it 
out at the Loctite website.
