If you are referring to that foam tape that isolates vibrations when you mount thing with them... I'd have to say no... It's probably way too heavy to actually balance the blades... You'll be surprised at how little it take to balance some blades... I would also think that the tape would be too think and may affect the aerodynamics of the blades...

You can probably use any very thin tape to balance, even monocote works. I've used CA and Epoxy to blanace blades too, but that's because they had blade roots that needed to be epoxied... This might not be the case with your blades...

Or maybe

Insulation Tape (electrical) - I don't see why not if you cut it in thin strips.
