Reply To: Double-sided tape recommendation – high temperature

[Hans]

Hi John,

I have had good experiences with the 3M VHB tape in warm/hot conditions.
But then it’s not just a matter of quickly sticking it on and hoping it stays put.
I thoroughly clean the surface where the tape will be applied. No grease or other dirt should be present. I then warm the surface thoroughly with, for example, a hairdryer. I also warm the tape. Then stick the tape and press firmly for a while. Only then do I place the part to be glued on the tape with the same cleaning/heating actions. I also ensure that there is no mechanical tension. So do not tighten the cables too tightly, causing the camera to pull on the tape.
Unfortunately, I have only had lesser experiences with brands other than 3M.
