VHB can be relatively thick. Go to 3M site to see specs of various versions. This stuff has killer strong adhesive.

Is double sided thin tape better than contact cement?

QUOTE(Speedo @ Apr 12 2026, 06:45 PM)  Is double sided thin tape better than contact cement? Probably. It's what Porsche used on every 914. It needs to be stuck on but not bonded on forever. |
