(Part 2) Best interlocking tape & mounting products according to redditors

This might work. But IDK how easily you could remove it in the future

There are these really nice reusable adhesive gel mounting squares I use for posters and pictures.
Ive used the same $5ish pack for several posters and papers over the years and they don’t damage anything. They work sort of like those “sticky hands” you get in the gumball machines.

I actually use this double-sided foam tape:

XFasten Double Sided Tape Foam Mounting Tape, 3/4-Inch x 350-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E9FG960/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_17Dk17Eq7lYra

Cheaper than buying the normal 3M stuff at Wally World and Durant damage the surfaces I choose.

It was super simple! I bought these magnet sticker sheets from Amazon — one of the reviewers said they used them for a magnetic palette and that the hold was strong enough: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2SE5KA/

Then I emptied out an old pencil case, and cut the magnet to be the right size. Pressed it into the bottom, and voila!

Seriously, bathing in DEET before going to bed? I gotta know, are y'all taking the piss here or do Irish people literally not know about window screens?

Edit: if you do buy that particular screen, get some proper Velcro tape as well, because the stuff that comes with it is shit.

They'll mail them to you for free, but that won't happen in two days.

Amazon sells them:

For indoor use I trash the Scotch double-sided tape that they provide in favor of 3M Command Strips to reduce surface damage. For my garage door I used the Scotch provided and it has worked fine.

For outdoor applications I've used Scotch Outdoor mounting tape. This stuff sticks to just about anything and doesn't come off easily.
https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Permanent-Outdoor-Mounting-4011-LONG/dp/B000BL5INM

This stuff is awesome. I use it at work to attach signage in buildings. Its really strong!

3M Mounting Squares They do wonders

These work well. They kept falling off on me so i ended getting some 3M VHB Tape, replaced the adhesive on the back, and it has not fallen off since.

Amazon has them available, I use these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2SE5KA/

60mm thickness is the key, and can cut it using a standard hobby knife.

I have dual sticks, not have a HOTAS, but I think my setup is still relevant.

I've been toying with the idea of making fold-away holders for my sticks that attach to my chair but it's probably a pipe-dream. I use my computer and desk mainly for work... so any solution has to be removable or tucked away for non-playtime. But until then... this is how I do it:

A year or so ago, someone on this sub suggested Scotch Restickable Dots. I attach 3-4 to the base of each stick and plant them firmly on the mouse pad. I also have many under the mouse pad to keep it secured to the desk top.

Works well for me. I simply pick up the sticks and put them off to the side when I'm done. I remove the Dots from the bases and put them on top of the bases to keep them from sticking to the desk elsewhere. I also cover my sticks when not in use (I have cats)... so the Dots remain fairly clean.

Oh, and the Dots are washable... so you can "refresh" them if they loose their stickiness.

Maybe use adhesive magnetic tape? The reviews say that the hold generally sucks, but that doesn't matter if you're using rare earth magnets on the headphones rather than just a plate of non-magnetic steel.

> Glue on a magnet

That's what I was thinking. Look at this and see if it might work. Should be easy to remove when you leave.

After years of tape, I changed to putty. But then I found this:

https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Restickable-8-inch-18-Dots-R105/dp/B007Y17T70/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1519050026&sr=8-4&keywords=3m+sticky+dots

I've had the same set of stickies on my markers for over 6 weeks. They are totally washable ( when you're washing your hands), add just a drop of soap and rub them. You can feel the grime coming off of them. Then, I just let them dry for about 10 minutes. I keep them on a piece of film/plastic in my pocket. Life changing. They are very thin, so I doubled them on my marker to make it easier to use.

I've experimented with Command strips, but have found that double-sided foam tape was a better solution in my home. Not only can you cut the tape to any length, the foam core allows you to press the strip to the tape and the tape to any surface without damaging the light strip. Command strips are still a good solution. It's just a matter of preference.

ok I just googled "ipass velco", and got this

three doll hairs, free shipping(though its not prime so no 2day) a the nearest toll plaza to me is $0.55 plus gas brings it up to maybe a buck fiddy, two bucks at most. so yeah, it would be cheaper to just go to the toll plaza =D

I plan on storing my seeds for years. Here's how I do it:

1. Drill a 3/4" hole in the lid of a 2 or 4 oz. baby food jar, using a Forstner bit. Tape over the hole with micropore tape on both sides. Fill the jar half-way with Damprid (calcium chloride). Silica gel only gets RH down to 40%, whereas CaCl2 lowers it to <25%. Stuff the rest of the jar with cotton and screw the lid on. I stick the baby food jar to the bottom of a pint- or quart-sized wide-mouth mason jar using these from Wallyworld.
   
   
2. Put the seeds in small ziploc baggies or breeder's packs inside the mason jar. Make sure they're slightly open and not airtight.
   
   
3. Put some oxygen absorber packets in there.
   
   
4. Put the lid on and vacuum seal the jar with one of these and a vacuum pump. You can use a Food Saver pump if you have one but I went with a cheaper option. I squirt some silicone in a ring around the lip for a better seal to the jar sealer.
   
   
5. Screw the jar ring on and store the mason jar in the fridge.
   
   This method takes care of the 3 things that lower seed viability--humidity, oxidation (with the oxygen absorbers and vacuum seal), and temperature. I also plan on saving herb for the long haul like this, but with 62% Boveda packs instead of the CaCl2.

Sure, it doesn't need to be a specific tape, but I would use a velcro style like: https://www.amazon.com/Pass-I-Pass-SunPass-Adhesive-Strips/dp/B007BH5848/

I wouldn't use a foam tape as I would be concerned it would not stand up to the heat on the back of the television over time.

3M itself just referring to the adhesion brand - but there are other options out there.

Sounds like there could be some RF interference.

Try this USB hub and put the hub closer to where your controller will be, and then plug the MS dongle into that.

I have one on my desk with my Logitech keyboard and mouse dongles and it's worked great.

(Note it's USB2 on purpose, USB3 has been known to cause interference with wireless devices)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B4YBR3Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Secondary tip:

If you put that USB hub on your desk and want it to stay put, these are great temporary fasteners:

I got it on Amazon.com, as a roll of magnetic tape. I had to cut it up into appropriate length pieces, then lay it out flat and put some heavy books on it to get it to stop trying to roll back up. And then it still tried to, so I keep the sheets stored face-down when I'm not using them, and that's gotten it to flatten out better.

Here's the link to the specific magnetic tape I bought:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HYDC68

3m VHB tape

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2SE5KA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Its a metal door :)

I usually turn everything i make into a magnet with those sheets, they work really well, but they do tend to fall off when the perler warps a bit, so i use glue to make sure they stay on.

Loctite Fun-Tak Mounting Putty Tabs, 2-Ounce (1865809) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018A3AG0W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HfSuDbZ0XTGCF

Not easy to get to, sorry, as it all sits neatly in my TV cubby. I just used sticky velcro strips though. This kind of thing. It's a trick I learned from setting up video conference rooms

A company called HideItMounts sells more permanent ones

Now that I have time. I used these: https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Mounting-Squares-64-Squares-108-SML/dp/B004QMQ12E/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_229_lp_img_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GATFBHEBCS36JGBV9RC4

This is what I do. I have a lot of Harry Potter keychain figures because the scale works better (Dobby, Nifflers, Picket, etc) and museum putty keeps the wobblier ones standing. Marvel key chains are especially difficult because of the bobble head. My classic Ant-Man pop stands up on his own but The Wasp has tiny little needle legs and a GIANT HEAD so I ended up super-gluing her to an extra stand.

I used VELCRO Brand. They also do heavy duty, but I haven't tried that since this one works well for me.

something like this if you want to go with a hidden closing.

I wonder if two strips of magnetic tape in the top hem would work for the opening. It's pretty flexible, but would stiffen up a bit when stuck together, and is probably easy to roll up. I have some at work. Might try it out tomorrow.

As far as sewing skill, it's just practice. Set up the next few inches of what you're about to sew, and feed it through smoothly at a constant speed. Use something as a visual guide, either the edge of the foot, or a mark on the machine, or a piece of masking tape with a measured line drawn for your seam allowance.

If you just want sewing practice without wasting a bunch of expensive fabric, you could probably use cheap blue tarps from the hardware store. If you don't want to be wasteful, make some reusable grocery bags or something? That's an easy project to practice design, construction, top stitching, rolled hems, and handles. (Tip: Make a U-Panel style bag with a single front/bottom/back panel, and two side panels.)

The microdrive can be replaced with a CF card (or SD to CF adapter). Just use some foam padding, like these mounting squares, to ensure it’s not moving around in there.

It can charge over USB. It’s actually the first iPod model that can charge over USB.

If you have mini x or mini s get the 4ft cable if you have v2 or stealth get the 6 ft.

I understand that some people have ridiculous amounts of money, and that this is a very nice looking product, but seriously, spending $15 on a deck hanger is very expensive considering most decks cost less than that, and 30¢ of mounting putty would basically do the same thing.

I stick them to the wall at light-switch level using these Scotch removable mounting squares. Come off nicely without damaging the paint. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00099E8DM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Always on a wall that the sun doesn't shine on and some of mine are Ecobee sensors so in a location where the motion sensor will be effective.

A tiny amount of something like this under the wheels.

As stated in my other post, I've had this thing running for over a month at 75c with no loss of cohesion

I'll have to do some checking if I ever go above that I'm sure, but for PLA and PETG it's been perfect

Looks like, to have a higher Curie temperature, you'd want to use thicker 60mil sheets

Any craft store (Michael's, JoAnn, the dreaded Hobby Lobby, and probably even Lowe's or Home Depot for some things) will do as well as Amazon if you can wait a few days for shipping.

I've not made keyrings yet but for magnets you'll probably want some kind of magnetic tape like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Magnum-Magnetics-Corp-Adhesive-Magnetic/dp/B00114LU8K/ref=pd_sbs_indust_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0F9T34N0C12XGK1T5QZ6

Or a magnetic sheet like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Magnet-Adhesive-Length-rolled/dp/B005HY990G/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1404232861&sr=1-1&keywords=magnet+sheet

The adhesives on those are usually kinda crappy so I'd suggest maybe pulling the tape off and adding your own adhesive of choice.

Also the flexible magnets tend not to be super strong so you might need to use a bit more than you would think.

It's really easy and inexpensive to make them. Check this out. Instead of sewing them, I used 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive and magnetic strips.

I use two powerstripes for mounting them to the wall. make sure to clean the underground before.

https://www.amazon.de/tesa-Powerstrips-Strips-LARGE-Packung/dp/B000KJOC78/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467416902&sr=8-1&keywords=power+strips

I went through this issue myself, and I found a pretty good solution, I think. It'll take some time to setup correctly and you'll need to do some math, but it works.

Get these: http://www.amazon.com/Removable-Mounting-Squares-squares-108/dp/B00099E8DM

When you put them on your wall, push one side down for about 30 seconds against the wall, then put a corner of the sound proofing squares and press that into the pad for about another 30 seconds. I'd recommend using 1 square for each corner. They stay in place, and come off the wall without any marks.

I use this stuff and it holds up just fine. No damage on anything I stick it to.

I've bought sticky Magnetic Squares

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0796MKVS8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and now my trifecta on the fridge :)

I use this, and it's now stuck to my HDD trays.

If you mean for stuff like stairs and slabs there is good magnetic tape

Enjoy!

Yeah it is strong enough to hold with maybe a thin case, but the weight of the phone plus the fact that the coils to which the magnet stick are on the bottom 3rd of the phone make it tip over and fall as the slightest touch.

Despite this I've gotten it to work by sticking one of these on the mount.

Scotch Restickable Tabs, 1 x 1 Inches, 18 Squares (R100) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0039N3QO2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_JdCIub0SRMC5A

Its stickiness combined with the magnetic hold the phone just fine! It even works in landscape mode!

I added big feet to the bottom of mine because I got tired of the sliding and unleveled bottom. I used some permanent outdoor mounting tape to attach some egrips. The thickness of the mounting tape made sure the egrips sit taller than the useless plastic nipples on the top corners too. It's perfectly level and now a tractor couldn't slide this thing off my desk.

Scotch Permanent Outdoor Mounting Tape

Yepp! that would work. Here is one that I can personally recommend as well: https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Permanent-Outdoor-Mounting-4011-LONG/dp/B000BL5INM

would probably be a whole lot more comfortable if you can add your own about of foam to each section and they apply it to the headband.

Remove the hard Drive cage, you can change 5.25 drive bays into a harddrive cage, Icy box do some insane stuff, they have boxes that turn 1 5.25 bay into 4 SSD slots all they way up to 3x 5.25 bays into 5 3.5inch Hard drives and everything inbetween.

Or go getto and cheap get some Velcro strips and slap your drives to any flat space you can that frees up the space to run the faster one in your first PCI-E slot.

There are loads of ways, but I settled with some of this velcro tape. Honestly, I imagine removing the TAPE will damage the wallpaper once it's been on for a while, but I can remove the tiles and reattach them without any harm.

I have heard of people gluing the foam to sheets of plywood and hanging those on hooks, but that seemed like a little too much work for me.

I've thought of simply getting some of these and making a display on a blank wall in my room by my pipe supplies. Just stick em to the wall.

i wasn't too worried about getting the glue off the back of the pots because i intended to glue magnets to the back anyway. there's all sorts of stuff you can use other than z palettes, have fun with it.

> I cannot find a 3M product called PowerStrip

Sorry about the confusion, PowerStrips are actually from Tesa and not 3M. These are the ones I use for a ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Dock. These are the ones I use for my USB hub and now also for the (small/ish) AC/DC converter of a Logitech G29. HTH!

I don't fully understand the problem. So apologies if these are out of left field, but magnets can work -- many contact chargers use them -- if the device has them embedded. Otherwise something like this mounting tape, cut appropriately, can hold just about anything while allowing for it to be removed.

I used these (but more like 1"x3" instead of 1"x1") for mounting my Leap to the Rift and it works perfectly.
