If you buy something from Powerful UK they always have strips of the 3M double sided foam tape on and its AMAZINGLY sticky.

Most double sided tapes are very temperature sensitive as regards stickyness. I always heat the surface of the tape and the surface to which it is to be applied with a heat gun or hairdryer. This is particularly relevant at this time of the year.

I buy my 3m tape at Walmart in the US and always make sure I have some at home. About $7 a roll depending on size. Happy to bring a couple of extra rolls back with me next week ( on a plane to he US at the moment) There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t

I think that eBay ad is sneakily worded to make it look like you are buying 3M tape, when in fact it's "up to" 3 metres of something not from 3M.

Have used No More Nails tape before (all I could find when I needed it) and it's very strong.

The fact it's not sticky and the ad is worded the way it is still points at fake tape. |
