Title: Recommendations for double sided foam tape
Post by: vRS_Pagey on February 11, 2012, 03:58:26 pm

As per title, I am in need of some automotive grade double sided foam tape, I will require approx' 1mm x 10mm x 5m.........

Just got some off the bay, and first impressions are its crap!  Intended use is to fix a pair of GTi side skirts, so it needs to be strong, any idea's on what is the best stuff?

Try Wurth, 3m or Tesa.  They are the best tape manufacturer's out there.

Cheers pal, struggling to find 3M in less than 33 metres, will have a search on the other 2.  I just know this stuff I have at the moment is going to fail........ :sick:
