3M VHB .125 Thick

[cutting$burning]

Could not find a forum for adhesives so I posted here in the general forum. Looking for a source for some 3M VHB 5952 or similar in 1/8" THICK x 1" and 1/2" wide. I have purchased it before but cannot find any unless it's 9 rolls of 180 yards. Looking for 15 feet of each. Of course I needed it yesterday. Whenever I google or search all I get is a million results of 1/8" WIDE not THICK.

Thanks, DeLaun

I bought some in Home Depot, in the paint dept.

Thanks Tom, Yes they have it but only in 1/16" thick, trying to make the letters stand off like this. I'm looking for 1/8" thick.

What about the Gorilla brand?

Use 2 layers of tape?

I've have had trouble with Gorilla Glue products in the past. Had issues with their epoxy glue and their super glue.

Use 2 layers of tape?

I've gave this some serious thought. The sign has 8" tall letters cut from 10 gauge and is mounted directly above the front entrance. If a letter fell off the sign at the wrong moment?

So, you're concerned that the tape might not adhere to itself, but not concerned about it adhering to other materials? I think I'd find a mechanical solution if it's mounted above a walkway.

I have a CD stud welder so would use threaded studs to stand it off that far but I have certainly used 2 layers of tape and it's worked very well. Just use the correct amount and prep properly.

Thanks Robert for sharing your experiences with using 2 layers. Just knowing someone has done this with good results makes me fell a lot better about going this route.

I would use one thickness or weld it as well.

Good luck

You could always use 1/8 thick flat washers behind the letters with a strong epoxy holding it all together.
