I've been using Alien tape. Or 3M if it's for something permanent.

Thanks for this. That this tissue tape looks perfect for Marantz vellum and dial.

The optically clear stuff is nice, for look's sake.

No light shines through where the tape is, and the tissue tape is really thin. Maybe too thin to work with. Either would probably work well.

I may pick up some of each. I have a few people that ask for new vellum now and then.

Preach, brother. We have a double sided 3M we use at work to anchor electronic devices to trays. You have to employ violence to get it loose. This is "hang upside down and shake it for a day" strong.

It's great stuff.

Depends what you're doing but, yeah, 3M VHB will hold some stuff together.

 

[gadget73]

Can confirm, VHB is tough stuff.

 

[AudioAvarice]

I use vhb to stick big filter caps to circuit boards before soldering.

I know 3M makes a thin almost clean double side tape and they also make tape that has foam in the center of two sticky sides. There is that other company that you can use to stick things with that has a tab if you want to break the two surfaces free. You pull on the tab stretching the tape making it break from the surfaces with out damaging them.

Ohhh this is good info, some of that tape would work great for some of the vintage tube amps with the paper thin faceplates overlaying a metal plate. They always seem to flex out a little with the hoods off. I’ve used the double sided scotch tape and it works for a while.

Good link thanks for that!

The stick glass panels to buildings with 3M VHB. I use a string of floss to get it off......

Been using left over ‘frost king’ double sided tape from window insulation for lots of stuff for years. Clear, thin and very good grip.

3M auto body tape for things that need a bit of wiggle, also grips and holds very strong.

Yea I put up plastic on the windows...... The Frost King Tape is really good but too good and hard to get off the trim, I think that's why 3M is still in the game, their tape holds great but it's also easy to pull off.
