Hi everyone,

I'm trying to attach a few interior & exterior items on my WRX and am having a really tough time finding a place that sells strong, double stick tape. I've been to HOME DEPOT, KRAGEN, OFFICE DEPOT & none of them had the 3M Brand double stick that I've looking for. I spent the whole afternoon driving around w/no luck!

I did find regular 3M double stick for mounting posters at Home Depot & Office Depot and some molding tape @ Kragen, but both were pretty flimsy. I'm looking for the heavy duty stuff like body shops use on body kits & such.

Does anyone know anywhere close to SF I can find some **HEAVY DUTY** double stick--preferably 3M, which I hear is the strongest/most durable?

Thanks in advance,

CL

Try your local Radio Shack. They sell two types of foam double-sided tape, one of them being Supermount Tape. I believe this is a 3M product.

Try servo tape from a R/C car hobby store. That stuff is strong. I used it to remount my front subaru grill badge after I repainted it.

 

Find an autobody supply shop, getting the double-sided trim tape. You want to get the real 3M stuff here.....yes, it really is THAT much better than the suggestions I've seen so far in this thread

 

just because its 3M doesn't mean crap.

i bought 3 different kinds of 3M double sided tape... only one is OK...

Joe,

I want something strong & "permanent" but not THAT permanent! j/k

Thanks to everyone for your input and help! I have been informed by several parties, incl a couple who replied here, that my best bet is "3m body tape" from an auto paint supply shop.

When I track down a place in SF, I'll post in case there are others that wanna stick stuff on their cars---Supra wings, Combat kits, Skyline tail lights, Type R emblems, etc. j/k
