Everett Snider: Worked well for the job we was doing

United States on Sep 11, 2023

Tustin Twinkle StarTustin Twinkle Star: I was on the fence about trying this tape as it seemed the reviews were 50/50 on whether it worked as well as marketed. It’s also funny how the legal disclaimer, that the tape is only for commercial use and not for consumers, basically lets the company off the hook for any failures of the product experienced by Amazon customers. But I read advice on other forums by people who use this tape and also watched some videos, and that reassured me enough to give it a try.
My project involved sandwiching some tempered glass panels in between painted wood frames that could not be routed for various reasons. However, heeding all the negative reviews, I did not depend solely on the tape and built the project with redundancies (aka over-engineering) that included silicone, adhesive, shims, and screws. I realize not all applications have that option, but in the hopes this can help someone, here are a few things I learned or did:
—Prep your material. Bare wood needs to be sealed with primer or paint, then sanded lightly to scuff it up so it can grab. Glass needs to be clean.
—The tape does not immediately stick (a good thing). I was able to quickly lift it and reposition if...

FedericoFederico: Era proprio l’adesivo che cercavo, mi serviva per un supporto Bluetooth per caschi AGV, l’adesivo è identico a quello originale, purtroppo su sei fogli uno era tutto acciaccato

Igor Selezniov: Got tape, did not work properly for me not as good as advertised.

Fresno: Good, but prep is extremely important... make absolutely certain the area is clean and has been given the once over with rubbing alcohol to ensure the best possible adhesion. Smooth surfaces like aluminum flashing may need to be lightly sanded prior to cleaning with rubbing alcohol Otherwise it will stick initially, and then fall off.

Side note regarding types of alcohol: Isopropyl alcohol is perfectly fine for 99% of applications that recommend rubbing alcohol…biggest difference is in the additives that isopropyl evaporates faster… Note: Neither of these two types should ever be ingested, they are effectively poison by design. The consumable type of alcohol (in whiskey for example) is called ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol also known as grain alcohol). If you’re looking for consumable alcohol, then go to liquor store… NEVER EVER ingest any product simply based on it containing alcohol (even if it specifically says ethanol, etc). Why? Because it’s also the additives that can hurt you, and you cannot know what those are or how dangerous they are… Just stick to bars and liquor stores if your looking for consumable alcohol. To drive this point a bit further:...

Marc-André Lemieux: I use this tape on my RC projects where I need something to stay but. It went into water, into mud and attached objects are still firmly fixed. This tape is quite easy to remove.

Splineride: Works great on glass

A. L. Cudbard-bell: Awesome for sticking bits to drone chassis. Way way cheaper to buy it like this and cut it to size than buying the little pads.

Kindle Customer: Excellent tape. Once this stuff sticks, it doesn't let go easily. You do need to clean the surface first with some rubbing alcohol.

This works so much better than normal carpet tape. We use it in an industrial application, and couldn't be happier. I'm sure that eventually the tape will give, but that will be years down the road.

The only negative on this is the price, but really, if you want the good stuff, you have to pay for it.

PJ: It is difficult to find 3M VHB double-sided tape in auto or hardware stores or in small quantities. It is far superior to the 3M tape with a red film cover. I suppose 3M means for VHB to stand for very high bond strength, which it has. The RP is defined by 3M as "This family utilizes multi-purpose acrylic adhesive on both sides of a conformable adhesive foam core. The adhesive provides good adhesion to a broad range of high and medium surface energy substrates including metals, glass, and a wide variety of plastics. The conformable adhesive foam core provides good contact, even with mismatched substrates". The 25 is the thickness in mills. Clean both surfaces to be fastened with alcohol and you can be assured that they will stay bonded. Once cured, it is difficult to pull them apart but can be easily and cleanly removed with a plastic scraper to avoid surface damage.
