Heavy duty double sided tape

I bought a roll of this stuff in January:

I'm about to run out and I'm going to order some more. It will be what I use going forward. I find the golf tape to be too difficult to clean up afterward. That white plastic carpet tape cleans up very easily.

 

It's been some time since I used the stewmac tape, but I remember having some templates slip from time to time with it, and I have not had that problem with the stuff I linked.

 

Nice. Let us know how you like it, please.

 

The guys from Crimson guitars have an interesting trick that uses masking tape and CA:

 

I use the regular foam double sided tape you buy to hang things on walls and the like. It's SUPER strong. I'm pretty confident I could attach myself to a wall with enough of it.

 

I have done this method since discovering it, and it's actually less time consuming for me than using double sided tape after you get used to it. It's also much less expensive. Of course with all things, YMMV.

 

The last roll I got from Woodcraft is actually too strong and has ripped large sections of templates off when trying to remove it. So I do the same sort of thing with it as the super glue trick where I sandwich the double sided between 2 strips of masking tape. It really doesn't take anytime to setup and the guy in the video is just moving slow for the purposes of demonstration. I bet the super glue would be even faster than doing it with the double sided I currently have and cheaper too so I'll probably just move on to that method.

 

Cloth carpet tape is the best I've found. Cheap, readily available, and super strong.

 

For higher bond strength than typical double-sided tape, I'd recommend a 3M VHB (very high bond) tape. They are much stronger than household tapes. Amazon has tons of them. There are different product numbers, referring to different sizes, widths, and substrates (surfaces) they bond effectively.

 

Yeah, that.

 

Yes, 3m VHB, stands for Very high Bond.
I use it at work in electronics fabrication.

 

I use http://www.lowes.com/pd_256882-14510-280396_0__?productId=3407976 when CNCing and it works great. Not sure it will work for your situation.

 

I use a lot of mitre bond ,its a super glue with a spray activator , home hardware have then in stock , at work we use a lot of 3m double sided tape and it holds good

 

Nice! I'm glad it works well for you. I found out last week that the flexibility and adhesion of the stuff is severely reduced by the cold. It was about 15 degrees in my shop, and the tape turned brittle and wouldn't stick to anything. I really need a shop heater.
