What type of double sided tape??

cstmx_ryder · 01-30-2011, 11:48 AM

I'm curious as to what type of double sided tape you all use for your rear spoilers etc.?

P.S. Anything to avoid using betalink......lol

TIA

3m, use a heat gun on the tape and apply right away. Will hold up strongly.

Any type of 3M double sided tape?

I thought there's different grades?

NYFelix87 · 01-30-2011, 12:36 PM

^ I don't think so, unless someone can correct me. I always purchased it from Home Depot 3M and it has always done the job.

aren't there different thicknesses too?

NYFelix87 · 01-30-2011, 01:36 PM

^ just width may be different, otherwise 3m is all the same

Not all 3M tape is the same. There's "general purpose" double-sided foam tape which is white with green protective film and this gray "automotive trim tape" wit red film which is what you need.

yes, that's why I posted that sample pic of someone using the tape he needs on a spoiler install.
