Product Information

Acrylic: Most commonly used for industrial purposes, acrylic double-sided tape uses strong chemicals for a permanent bond. Acrylic tape is also useful outdoors, as it’s waterproof.

If you’re wondering why your double-sided tape isn’t working as it should, it could be from improper use. Read our list below to see what you’re potentially doing wrong.

While some double-sided tape is water-resistant or waterproof, we recommend applying it to a dry surface. This ensures that water doesn’t obstruct the bond between the tape and the surface. How can I make double-sided tape easier to remove? Tissue: Tissue tape is akin to standard, light-duty cellophane tape but is double-sided. It’s the most common type of double-sided tape that’s suitable for everyday household use.

If a double-sided tape is fairly easy to remove, it’s probably designed to be washed and reused. This makes buying a roll of tape an economical fastener solution, as you can use one piece multiple times. However, keep in mind that the tape loses some of its adhesion with each application. Size and Quantity The strongest double-sided tape is usually considered UHB, or Ultra High Bonding, tape. UHB tape offers superior adhesion on both sides of the tape to secure rugs, hang pictures, and more. VHB, or Very High Bonding, is another high-quality tape product worth considering. Can I apply double-sided tape to a wet surface?

Any great mechanic knows that to get the best results, you need the best products. While you may have some old glue or tape in the cupboard or the toolbox, car glues, adhesives, tapes and sealants are created to high-standards, which mean they won’t damage or destroy the finish on your car. Choosing the wrong type of double-sided tape: Make sure that the double-sided tape you choose is appropriate for what you want to adhere. For example, don’t use wood tape on painted walls. Most double-sided tape can hold 5–15 pounds, with the strongest holding 15–20 pounds. Double-sided adhesive tape isn’t as strong as nails or screws, but you’re sacrificing strength for convenience. Dimensions Exposing the tape to sunlight: When you receive your double-sided tape, store it in a dry, dark, and temperature-controlled area. If the tape is in direct sunlight for an extended amount of time, it can lose its adhesive property. The surface that you’re applying the tape to shouldn’t receive direct sunlight either.
