Strong Double Sided Tape?

My sprint booster button will not stay stuck with the double sided tape provided. Who has used/is using a double sided tape that is strong and wont come unstuck in the cold and heat? Brands and where you bought it please?

Go to local a signage place and get some pressure sensitive tape that they use to hold signage panels and lettering. 3M make it as well as others.
Pressure sensitive tape has the two components of epoxy embedded in it that are mixed together when you apply it and push the tape together. Sticks like the proverbial Sh%#t to a blanket. And a much better quality than the hardware stuff you get
On the internet you can be anything you want. It is strange that so many people choose to be stupid!

I run scale rock crawers and custom rc crawlers. When I need to stick something both sides I use heavy duty sticky backed velcro that works great. It is flexible, subject to heat, moisture, dust and movment. Works great and sticks to everything well. You can again buy 3M branded or other brands from Bunnings on a roll between $5 - $15 for 1m -5m -10m rolls that you can cut to size and is usefull in general for many uses. Hope this elps. Is good as double sided tape permanent where velcro allows for removal if required.

That's what Shane (crosssport) used to fix my Steinbauer power module onto my fuse box in the engine bay. It doesn't budge at all, yet with a bit of force I can remove the Steinbauer to change settings if I need to, then put it back in place and with a little pressure it fixes itself back in place. Brilliant stuff.

I had blind spot mirrors that kept falling off in the hot weather so I got some double sided tape from bunnings and I used it for the sprint booter also. I wanted the 3m stuff cause I know its good but only found other stuff which still worked well. Henkel is the brand.

Best double sided tape is the 3M ATG tape gun system

There are a couple of different tapes for it.

The other stuff which is great is some 3M stuff the panel beaters use to restick on badges after painting. You press a part onto it, pull it off and instant self adhesive part!

I found that when i was fitting my sprint booster i had the same problem. I used a small piece of 3M double sided tape. It was white, if that is any help. The other thing to make sure of is that you give the spot where you want to stick it a good clean with an alcohol wipe or contact cleaner etc.
