Repositionable Foam Mounting Tape
Foam damps vibration while securing lightweight objects, such as nameplates, dispensers, and smoke alarms. This tape has a tacky adhesive on one side and a permanent adhesive on the other. The closed-cell foam restricts absorption so it can be used outdoors.

Glue-on-a-Roll
Apply this glue-like tape for a no-mess alternative to liquid adhesives, hot melts, and staples. Also known as adhesive transfer tape, these rolls have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. They are thinner and more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides.
467MP and 468MP resist solvents and UV rays.
9482PC and 9485PC are a good choice for precise applications, even on slippery plastics. They're reinforced with fiber so they keep their shape and don’t ooze out, unlike softer adhesives.
