PRODUCT DETAILS:

The HitLights heavy-duty double-sided mounting tape is a high-bond acrylic foam tape designed to replace screws, nails, and other mechanical fasteners in permanent mounting applications. It uses 3M VHB adhesive on a 0.039 inch thick foam core, allowing the tape to flex into minor surface irregularities while maintaining a strong, long-term bond.

Each roll provides 50 feet of black tape at 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) width, giving ample coverage for signs, trim, panels, LED strip lights, and plastic parts. The viscoelastic foam helps absorb vibration and noise, making it suitable for automotive, equipment, and cabinet projects where rattles and buzz need to be minimized.

The acrylic adhesive is rated at approximately 1 lb per inch of width and can hold up to 3 lb per 2-inch segment when applied to clean, smooth surfaces and fully compressed. Once cured, the tape withstands moisture and harsh weather, so it can be used both indoors and outdoors, including damp locations.

A red peel-off liner clearly shows where tape has been applied, and the included plastic peeling tool makes it easier to lift the liner and press the tape firmly into place. This combination creates a fast, clean installation workflow for installers who need reliable, repeatable mounting performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: What is this tape used for?
A: This is a heavy-duty 3M VHB acrylic foam double-sided mounting tape designed for permanent bonding without screws or nails. It is commonly used for LED strip lights, signs, trim, panels, mirrors, and plastic components on smooth, clean surfaces.

Q: How strong is the adhesive, and how much weight can it hold?
A: The tape’s acrylic adhesive is rated at about 1 lb per inch of width and up to approximately 3 lb per 2 in section when properly applied and fully compressed. For best results, apply to clean, dry, smooth surfaces and use enough tape surface area to support the load.

Q: Is this tape waterproof and suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. The tape is designed for both indoor and outdoor applications and is considered waterproof and weather-resistant. Once fully cured, it adheres reliably even in damp conditions, making it suitable for exterior trim, outdoor signage, and similar projects.

Q: Does the tape conform to uneven or textured surfaces?
A: The tape uses a roughly 0.039 in (1.0 mm) thick foam core that helps it conform to minor surface irregularities. This viscoelastic foam also absorbs vibration and noise, which is useful in automotive, equipment, and cabinet installations. Extremely rough or dusty surfaces should be smoothed and cleaned before use.

Q: How do I apply the tape for the best bond?
A: Cut the needed length, apply tape to the clean, dry surface, and press firmly using the included plastic applicator to ensure full contact. Remove the red liner and immediately press the mating surface into place with steady pressure. Full bond strength develops after proper compression and curing time.

Q: Will this tape leave residue when removed, and how do I remove it?
A: Because the tape is designed for permanent bonding, removal may require effort and can leave adhesive behind. To reduce adhesion, gently warm the tape with a heat gun or steamer, lift an edge with a flat tool, and peel slowly at a low angle. Any remaining adhesive can be carefully cleaned with appropriate solvents compatible with the surface.

Q: Is the tape flexible or does it curl during installation?
A: The tape is flexible and engineered to resist curling, which helps keep long runs flat and manageable. It remains easy to handle and can be peeled back and repositioned as long as it has not been fully compressed into place.
