There is a distinction that I didn't catch on to until recently. Some double-sided tape is intended for permanent (or semi-permanent) bonding, and is sometimes referred to as "mounting tape". You can use it for woodworking, but it is harder to get off when you want to separate the pieces. It seems like it always stays on one of the surfaces, and is very annoying to remove. There is tape that is intended for woodworking use. It's pressure-sensitive, so it doesn't stick until you put some pressure on it. That makes it easier to position accurately before sticking. When you buy tape in line, it is often hard to tell which kind you're looking at. The tape sole by TayTools is definitely intended for woodworking.
Awesome. I used a 2" 3M double sided tape back in the early 90s to hold down polycarbonate sheets to mill them to shape. It worked great but I can't remember the number for it either. This was a sticky video.
I wish they could put the numbers on all of the tapes so you know what you're using. However, I do know how they convert these smaller rolls from a larger master roll and it would be very challenging to change out the core every time you switch tapes so I get it. I'm super thankful to know what I'm using now though.
In my opinion, one can never have too many different types of double-sided tape. The last one I bought was from Taylor Tools, which is good but expensive. It's great for anything over 2 square inches or so but for really small parts template routing I still need to whip out the blue tape + CA glue.
@@homebuiltshop It's funny, in the beginning, the painter's tape trick felt like I discovered the holy grail. Eventually, I realized that I was spending over 2x of my time using it on stupid large stuff like guitar neck templates, all while getting ribbed for trailing blue ribbons off my shoes in public places. No regrets though, I've since learned that it still absolutely rules on pattern routing anything smaller than your hand, because unlike anything else, that template will NOT slip if it's done right. Personally, I find that on almost any large project there will be at least one sketchy, delicate job that I need to do just once, and the ability to adjust the glue ratio makes all the difference. Even still, to think I wasted so much time on doubling end pieces of woodworking jigs that were perhaps 12" x 8", and thinking I was somehow saving cash if not time is kind of hilarious now.
Hi I'm in France where we use only metric but I grew up with inches. I think that the 9579 is maybe just an identifier of the type of tape rather than anything to do with the measurements. 1 metre is 1000 millimetres. 1 metre is 39.37 inches. 1 millimetre is approx 0.04 inches (4/100 or 1/25th of an inch) . so 9mm is 0.35 inches or roughly 1/3 of an inch I can't tell the width of the tape that you are holding so don't know if that is the equivalent of 9mm. I suspect that you can buy that 9579 in dfferent widths and lengths. Hope this hels.
I guess 3M doesn't want to sell any more of their non-labeled tape. How is someone supposed to buy more if they can't identify it. Many 3M products lack any sort of identifier, especially tape. Curious! And massive thanks to you for doing the heavy lifting for all your viewers. THANKS!
Don't think that Nashua is any different. They all use generic tape cores that just have their brand name across multiple different product lines and don't even have the decency to ink-stamp the part number after the cores are purposed to a particular product.
Intertape holds moderately well on very smooth surfaces or sanded surfaces. It is very weak on particle board or plywood. It also dries out if left on shelf and a lot is wasted trying to get to tape with some sticky adhesive . Too expensive for what you get.
This is my personal favorite Double Sided Tape. amzn.to/3cSkvdZ I want to say thank you to the team at @3m for helping me determine what tape I have so I can order more. I hope this is helpful for you all if you're looking for some really good double sided tape.
If you want some aggresive double sided tape for a permanent application get some 3M 950 , we used that stuff in manufacturing and it holds tight .

I've definitely used the CA+Tape myself. I've found that I like double sided tape better most of the time. The CA does have its place though.

Useful. What a great guy.
Thanks!
Have you tried Alien Tape double sided tape. It’s excellent and can be reused. I bought it at a Petro truck stop.
Great video, thanks for sharing!

done, shared my friend 💯💯👍❤️
Thanks Giovanni!
I've been using spectape st501 which is great but I'm curious to give this a try.
And I may have to look into the Spectape. Thanks. I'm always open to suggestions.
Actually my backup is the 3m, I prefer Intertape 591 double sided paper tape
I've tried some Intertape, not sure if it was the 591 though.
@@homebuiltshop the 591 looks like masking tape, but has great grip
@@2AChef-n-BBQ It's 12 mils, though, a pretty thick tape.
@@SteelBlueVision Im not a big fan of thick tape, but we all use our faves. I'm sure Jeff likes it for a reason👍🏼🍻🇺🇸

At $27.00/roll that certainly is a premium.
Hi
What tape can I use for a 180cm × 180cm mirror?

bad link!
I presume you've tried the Avery-Dennison products that StewMac sells? I sort of trust them to do a lot of the research so I don't have to.
That is actually one that I've not tried. I'll have to try a roll next time I order from them.
you spent 5 mins and 25 seconds reviewing a tape without showing how it performs :-( gotta give a demo at the least!
