The product linked by MIKEWALTER seems to talk about how many ohms per square inch (0.05 ohms), but I assume they mean on the non-adhesive side.
As someone else referred to, I'd be cautious of the current carrying capability of the tape based on the Max posting regarding his small fire.
Creating a more perfect Faraday Cage relating to EMI occurring at very low radiated signal levels is very different than carrying current to run an O Gauge train.

In the Q&A...

Question: What is it's resistance for 1 inch of longitudinal length? resistivity = ( electrical resistance * cross-sectional area ) / longitudinal length

Answer: I show 8 ohms with the leads 1" apart.

Question: what is max current can this handle?

Answer: This may not be the most useful answer but I ended up returning mine as the adhesive was not conductive (at least my meter couldn't find it).
