I want to attach some darkroom cloth (glossy side down) to a glossy hard plastic panel on a car I bought last week. This is a new car so I don't want anything that will damage the plastic panel, but I do want the tape to hold (there won't be any...

The tape is very weak. It will hold a piece of paper on a wall. That's about it. I use it a LOT though, for many different applications, including notes on wall, or tape a gift Visa card inside a birthday card, etc. For the application that you describe, it is worth a shot but I think success is likely 50/50 at best.

As per the description, the tape should be placed at the seams (or along the edge where two materials meet). As for how much to use, in your case I would place it ALL along the edges so no wind gets under a gap and prys up on the panel. You'd likely want a seamless bond all along the edge.

Velcro sticky-back tape has many uses....this could certainly apply here assuming you have vinyl or leather seats!! :-)

I put mine on with 3m double sided tape. Took the original off, cleaned the site real well with 90% isopropyl alcohol, dried it and let it air dry, applied the tape when it was warm and it held up just fine in wet, cold, and hot weather. Also looks awesome. Got many questions regarding who makes the car, what kind of car it is.....

some sort of adhesive .it depends on what kind of paneling you have weather its smooth or cloth .

Experiment with just the plastic, try different tape at only one side, both sides, none at corners. Plastic and metal may not mix well, but seems like a very good idea.

It was the recommended tape (by 3M) for a sunroof deflector. Had to be used with a 3M surface prep. Seems strong enough. Whether it will work as well for a spoiler, maybe. Why don't you call 3M like I did.

I would say no but this would be too harsh for plastics of any kind. You would be better off using the polishes that are designed for like headlight lenses for cars.

Well, I love this tape, but I use it only for short time "sticking." I think a car title might remain in the folder for several years, so I would go with those flat paper clips.

I used the tape on the headliner in my car which was loose. Not the best idea but so far it has held. Also used it to repair a wicker chair that sits outside in the elements and so far it hasn't come loose.

You don't. That stuff sticks good and if you have to take something apart you are going to have a lot of tearing. Maybe someone else has better luck than I do, if the paper is a bit slick you can put it apart pretty easy, but if it's matte finish, you are going to have a problem. If it is for a card which is what I use it for, you can maybe save one side, but the other side is going to be pretty torn up. I just figure I have to get a new piece of card stock. Sorry.

The question is a good one,but from my use as a gutter guard adhesive,it worked well,even in hot sun. The thickness is approximately,one eighth inch or less,but flattens out under pressure and yes it is foam,but very dense. I would not worry if your lighting is led,since it does not produce much heat,but if subjected to heat around exhaust or engine area it may not hold as well. Your question did not give where the tape would be used. Hope this helps,but you should know that if you do use it that you should put pressure on it at least for a few hours to make sure of the hold,I learned that from the first use failing. Good luck,I think you will like the product it really is great stuff. Sincerely M.J.L.

I assume glass wouldn't be an issue. I placed a strip on the drivers side door of my car to protect the clear coat from my dog's nails. The glue is tacky and allows for immediate repositioning. Time will tell how it reacts to sunlight.

I would not advise using double sided tape. "Liquid Nails for Foam" works the best. It's tricky to work with but otherwise the foam panels will loosen and peel.

This tape will definitely stick to and hold on FORD Motor Company vehicles. It's the same tape that's supplied with the VentVisors that I installed on my '95 Mercury Grand Marquis Restoration. They're stuck on there really well, and hold tightly in the desert heat. This exact same tape was used to install HELLA LEDayline 15 Daytime Running Lights on the Merc, as well -- and they're stuck on and holding tight after several mechanical car washes. I'll put it to ya this way, Chris -- I'll bet ya can't find any tape that will work BETTER !! ;>) Good Luck !!

I haven't used the tape on any cloth-covered books, but since I like to make myself useful to people, and since I still have some of the tape, I decided to test it. I taped a small piece to a linen-covered box, and it adhered neatly. I left it for five minutes, then came back and peeled it off. It peeled off pretty easily. I know that it can be peeled off cardboard, too, but not quite as easily. Bottom line is, I don't know whether this will work for you.

I have used Gorilla Glue to attach them to wood, plastic, glass and metal. I believe that it would also work equally well with cloth. Gorilla glue does take some time to set and will expand as it does. So, use it sparingly.
