Title: Double Sided Tape
Post by: jess stuart on March 23, 2015, 09:47:00 AM
It there a stronger tape than the Walmart types?  I would like to find some to reuse some old arrow holders that have been removed, and the tape is no longer strong enough to reuse.

Might try looking up 3M products.
I know there are several thicknesses.
I think a store like Lowes carries several types.

The 3M (at Wal-Mart) with the red strip is some strong tape.  You might also look for two-sided carpet tape, as it holds good also.

How about that 3M automotive attachment tape? That stuff holds a long time.

I know I put some double-sided carpet tape from Lowes or Home Depot down to hold a rug in place. It was a MAJOR project to get it off the floor later. Stuff REALLY holds.

3M makes a double sided tape with a foam core that is made for outdoor use and for heavy weight up to 50#.  Don't remember the specific name.  I get mine at Lowe's.  Large selection in the paint department.  Just look for the heavy rating and outdoor use.  Stuff is best I've seen.

I use the foam core double sided tape to mount Sta jac arrow holders to the side of my bows.  Never had a problem. And not terribly difficult to remove.

I  picked up three rolls of two sided tape at a yard sale a few years ago.  It is the best tape I have found for installing rests and side plates.  The info inside the roll says, Intertape Polymer Groups, Sarasota , Florida.  google it and lots of info comes up on the company and the tapes that they sell.

I have used velcro in the past for arrow holders. Good thing about it is you can reposition it to get the holder just where you want it. I bought a commercial roll of it. i also use it for all my arrow rests and strikeplates
