Ok, I admit it, I have tried it. The thick heavy 3M stuff they sell at the
office supply store sucks. However, the white foam stuff they sell for
2/99¢ at the 99¢ Store rocks. I actually used it the first time in a 99¢
store. I needed to mount a motion sensor on a steel pole just below the
ceiling tile. After breaking three drill bits I bought a roll of their
sticky foam tape and slapped it on there. That was five years ago, and its
still there.

I also like it for temp mounting some devices in tight spaces to hold it in
place until I can shoot a screw in it. I have yet to mount a panel with it
though. LOL.

There's nothing wrong with using double stick tape. But I like to add a bead
of clear silicone just in case.

From there it's a slippery slope to mounting stuff with duct tape...

WHATS WRONG WITH DUCT TAPE? LOL.

Actually I was referring to things like using the sticky tape to hold the
snap base for a wireless transmitter in the gap between a window blind and
the window so I can shoot a screw in it. Not temp mounting like for a week.
LOL. Some of the transmitters used to come with little pieces of sticky
tape.

Clean the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol first and it'll stick forever and
a day.

The best I've ever seen was the stuff from Moose, I think the part number
was DST-100. It came in a blue box, sheets of pre-cut soft foam stickiest.
Once you stuck it to something, the only way to get it off was to scrape it
off. I swear you could stick a piece of bacon to a greased pole with that
stuff. I still have a box somewhere....

What a waste of a perfectly good piece of meat.

I'm telling ya it's a disease, but it beats using Velcro to mount a
panel (-cough- Pinnacle), or the motion placed on a shelf so the client
could move it to different rooms (ADT)
It's like my sending signals from that infamous account # FFFF :)

Maybe it would be better if you wrapped the bacon around the doublestick
tape and then fried it.

yum yum sure sticks to your ribs

I would imagine it's pretty chewy...

A buddy of mine gave me 10 feet of this super sticky grey rubbery
double-sided stuff they use on cars. The stuff is unbelievable. I "think"
its used to stick body moulding on. Man this stuff is unreal.

I think you'ld be able to chew it once and then you'ld be "drinking"
your dinner for the next month or so until the glue dissolved enough for
you to open your mouth again...

Hahahaha, good point! At least all your food would have the taste of
bacon for a while...

Maybe some double-sided tape would improve the flavor? Especially if
it's soaked up some bacon grease...

This type of tape would be the right way to stick Bass to Brazil!

Don't throw me in the briar patch, Br'er Bear.

There is a 3M double sided foam tape that is "super strength" or "extra
sticky" - I forget exactly. It's the one with the red wax paper,
though. This stuff is like glue. The ultimate testament to it's
strength are my glass break detectors which are fixed to ceilings and
haven't budged in 2.5 years.
