3M Double Sided Mounting Tape 12.5mm x 4.7m Black 5925 0.6mm Thick Heavy Duty Foam Tape Strong Adhesive for Car Décor Home Office Logos

I used this to stick double channel plastic track to the top and bottom of lightly varnished wood veneer shelves indoors.It’s very easy to use if you follow some basic rules:1. Remove grease and dirt from both surfaces before application and let it dry - I used isopropyl alcohol (available on Amazon)2. Do not pull the tape off the roll quickly - it will stretch if you do, then it will detach itself from the surface as it tries to shrink back to its original shape3. Use sharp scissors to cut and trim, not a blade - it welds itself to a Stanley knife blade as soon as you slide the blade across it4. Do not drop it on the floor - there are no side covers so you will find yourself picking off bits of fluff and grit for ages5. After applying to the first surface use fine point tweezers to peel off the red backing - use the same technique as for removing the backing from cardmaking foam pads.i.e. press down firmly with the flat edge of the tweezers onto the red tape, roughly 2mm from the end. This puts a dent in the tape and loosens up the very end of the red tape. Slide the tweezers under the red tape and peel. The dent does reshape itself after a couple of minutes6. Is it the correct product for your application ?I’ve read a few comments that say that this type of tape is rubbish because it was used to stick a hook to a painted wall. The hook fell off when a coat was hung on it. The tape stayed attached to the hook and it pulled off a large chunk of wall paint with it. This product is designed to bond to the surface it is applied to, not the substrates. Effectively they have used it to stick the back of the hook to a very thin layer of emulsion paint. It’s the weak bond between the paint and plaster that failed, not the tape.

Used to reattached wooden glazing bars to sealed glass units. Degreased carefully, reattached and absolutely solid.

Does the job, but quite difficult to work with. Removing the backing tape is the problem, has the sticky tape itself is very soft. This led to a couple of crumpled, wasted lengths.

Does the job well, sticks firmly

Great product, slightly fiddly to apply but sticks very well.

Not good at all. Not sticky enough to even peel back the tap on the ‘other’ side whilst wound up on its reel.

Could not get the backing off the tape. Up until now my experience of 3M products has been great but this is an utterly useless tape because getting the backing off was near impossible and when I eventually got it off the tape was badly distorted and non functional. I want my money back!UPDATED - there is a technique to getting the backing off and although still awkward it is doable (lots of advice on how on the internet). Once the backing is off, the tape sticks very well both sides and I was able to use it to do the job in hand.

Good product.
