If you don't mind taking the arm apart, use 3:1 heat shrinking tube around the arm tube and heat it up to fit snuggly.
Why not use premium grade vinyl electrical tape? I have also heard about people using liquid paper to damp tone arms.
It's the weight that provides the damping. Not sure if teflon tape has the right damping properties. The good thing, it cost almost nothing to give it a try.
Goo Gone can safely remove tape residue without affecting the underlying paint/finish of the arm....if you decide to try an adhesive tape approach.
