Product Information

Full details

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.

FAQs

Can I use this tape for car exterior parts?

Yes, this tape is designed to be weather resistant and is suitable for automotive exterior trims and number plates.

Will this tape damage my paintwork?

The adhesive is very strong. If removed, it may leave residue or potentially pull away loose paint or delicate finishes.

Is the tape waterproof?

It is weather resistant, meaning it can handle exposure to moisture and rain, but it should not be submerged in water permanently.

Can I cut this tape to a thinner width?

Yes, you can use a sharp pair of scissors or a utility knife to trim the width to your specific requirements.

Does the tape work on raw wood?

It is not recommended for raw or porous wood as the adhesive cannot form a proper bond with the fibers.

How do I remove residue after taking the tape off?

A dedicated adhesive remover or a gentle citrus-based cleaner typically works well to dissolve remaining residue.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove oil, dust, or existing residue.

Tape is peeling off after a few days

Verify that the surface temperature was above 10C during application and that sufficient pressure was applied to initiate the bond.

Difficulty removing the backing paper

Use a small hobby knife or a fingernail to gently lift the edge of the protective liner without touching the adhesive face.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion on multiple surface types
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments
  • Highly resistant to weather conditions and solvent exposure
  • Durable enough for automotive applications like trim and number plate attachment

Cons

  • Not intended for easy removal or repositioning
  • May leave residue on certain delicate surfaces if removed
  • Width is fixed at 25mm, which may require cutting for smaller gaps

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
