Tape?
#1
Hello,
I am looking for a very good and sticky, strong double sided tape. I had a rubbery double sided tape I got a while back at Amain. Hated it. Really hard to peel the paper backing off. Any thoughts.

Not sure if this is what you were using from Amain, but I have been using this for several years now ... I guess it may be a little trying to get the red plastic off, but once I figured to use a utility knife, lift the corner and fold over, then use the knife to hold the clear against what I am trying to secure as I peel the red plastic, it works pretty slick ...AND, it peels easily off the surface for removal, nice and clean ... I have also used just a dab of Shoo-Goo if I have time to let it sit overnight, that peels of clean as well ...

Scotch Extreme 30lb tape is pretty good - they were out last time I needed some, so I got the Gorilla Glue Heavy Duty 30lb tape - and I like that too - maybe more than the Scotch.
If you need stronger, they both have a 60lb version available.

Thank you. I have 2 rolls of that stuff. Hate it. I got it to use it finally after a struggle getting the red plastic film to come off. I used it on a $500.00 ESC. Every was clean real good. First run ESC broke loose. Never again

Thank you. I order the Gorilla Glue Heavy Duty 30lb tape. I was afraid to try the 60 lb tape. They claim it is permanent.

3M 5952 is wicked good. You will notice when you remove it.
3M 5925 is the "same thing just thinner" but I don't think it adheres quite as stubbornly.
Both are part of the VHB family which is massive. Scope it out: https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/...sign-guide.pdf
I just bought a small roll of the 30lb Gorilla Tape from Lowe's and I like it just fine.
Clean both surfaces and your hands. Cut it with clean sharp scissors. Use tweezers and an X-Acto to handle and position it. You wont have any troubles.
Until you go to remove it.
