I primed my wings with DuPont 210S gray waterborne surfacer primer and the tape sticks well. I had to remove the fuel probes today ( months after completing the pressure test) and got a nice "woosh" of air due to atmospheric changes. Another thought, try museum putty if you can't find aluminum tape.
