The Simply Double Sided Tape (DST255) is designed for DIY enthusiasts, homeowners, and automotive hobbyists who need a heavy-duty adhesive solution for mounting, fixing, and attaching items. Its primary strength lies in its high-tack performance and resistance to weather and solvents, making it a reliable choice for long-term indoor and outdoor applications. While it offers impressive durability on smooth surfaces like metal, glass, and plastic, users should note that the high-strength adhesive may be difficult to remove or reposition once fully cured.

Yes, this tape is designed to be weather resistant and is suitable for automotive exterior trims and number plates.
The adhesive is very strong. If removed, it may leave residue or potentially pull away loose paint or delicate finishes.
It is weather resistant, meaning it can handle exposure to moisture and rain, but it should not be submerged in water permanently.
Yes, you can use a sharp pair of scissors or a utility knife to trim the width to your specific requirements.
It is not recommended for raw or porous wood as the adhesive cannot form a proper bond with the fibers.
A dedicated adhesive remover or a gentle citrus-based cleaner typically works well to dissolve remaining residue.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove oil, dust, or existing residue.
Verify that the surface temperature was above 10C during application and that sufficient pressure was applied to initiate the bond.
Use a small hobby knife or a fingernail to gently lift the edge of the protective liner without touching the adhesive face.
To achieve the best results with your Simply tape, proper surface preparation is critical. Ensure all mounting surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease, dust, or silicone-based cleaners. We recommend using isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the area before application. Once applied, avoid moving the object for at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to reach its maximum cure strength. The tape is compatible with metal, glass, and plastic; however, it is not recommended for use on loose paint, wallpaper, or porous surfaces like raw wood or unsealed concrete, as the adhesive may pull the surface coating away.
