Move over duct tape, theres a new gun in town. I recently bought a roll of 1/2" 3M "bumper tape. It's the stuff the auto body shops use to mount trim, emblems and plastic bumpers and fender tabs.
I recently used it to stick office signs to walls. Today I had an order for 10 real estate frame signs.
I had always bolted the signs through the pre-drilled holes. But today I was short a few bolts and located that tape.
I stuck 4 one inch pieces in each corner, dropped the sign in and pressed at the contact points. Stuck! Permanantly! Pry that off Mr. body shop man, you can't.
No more scraping sign faces due to bolts sticking out! I love it.
Saves time too!

Sssssh! Don't tell anyone...but...plain ol' Banner Tape is pretty much the same stuff! The bumper on my motorhome came loose on the right side...tried everything...no luck...was hemming a banner, and an idea flashed in my noggin...banner tape = bumper tape! 3 years...and still holding on like it belonged there!

this stuff is good but if you want to remove the sign try 3m stick on velcro the new one uses just one type not two different type of different rolls it is great stuff and very strong
