3M VHB Tape 5952, 2 in width x 5 yd length (1 Roll)

This tape is amazing!! Used it to put on new truck bed rails, and the adhesion is awesome.

Used to hang visitor parking signs in an underground garage.

I have used this product for years and once it is use to tack something in place, do not expect it to come loose. It is not easy to remove once affixed. Depending on what surface you put it on you could do serious damage trying to remove it. It is consider a permanent solution.

Extremely strong and reliable! Holds everything from car accessories to household items with ease. Far better than standard double-sided tape.

I recently moved to Colorado, a state that requires front license plates on motor vehicles. My Sprinter van has a license-plate-sized flat area on the front bumper but no pre-drilled holes. In my previous home in New Mexico this wasn't an issue, front license plates were not required. I wasn't thrilled about drilling holes and hoping for the best in what amounts to a plastic bumper, so I looked into alternatives. I saw this product discussed and recommended repeatedly on 'van life' videos, frequently for attaching flexible solar panels directly to the roof of the vehicle. Several were multi-year tests without any problems, no solar panels flying off the roofs, etc. I decided to give this a shot. The roll of tape arrived with zero instructions. None. It was early December in CO and I wasn't sure about minimum temperature requirements, so I went to the product page on the 3M website. Room temperatures recommended (uh oh!) but application seemed OK down to around temps in the 50s F. I waited for a warm-ish day. We had a clear sunny day with a high projected in the mid to upper 50s - it's only going to get colder in the next couple months so it was now or Spring. FYI the day before I worked indoors, cut three strips of tape and applied to the license plate, leaving the backing on, and clamped it overnight. I parked the van with the front bumper pointed south. Washed the area with very warm soapy water, rinsed with very warm water. let it dry and then sprayed and then wiped alcohol on the area (I know, 'belt and suspenders' approach). Peeled off the backing and applied the plate to the bumper, pressed as hard as I could and for as long as these old, arthritic hands could muster, probably was only a couple minutes though it felt like forever. So far all is well. The license plate is still attached, have been on very rough roads, highway at 60+ mph, all good. Time will tell.
