Double-sided tape

What are you using it for? I used to use the carpet-style for securing the
offcuts when compound cutting on the bandsaw. I got a hot glue gun, which I
think is far superior to the double-stick tape for this application.

LOL! I used to go there occasionally when I lived in MO. Sometimes you can
find good deals on some halfway-decent stuff (like the carpet tape Larry
mentioned), but usually the only thing it's good for is a good laugh.

Heck, that was probably fodder for bringing in new inventory from other
businesses who got flooded out.

There is a local business, Hood's, that deals in 'surplus' materials and
closeout building materials. They have at least two types of carpet tape,
the thin kind and another that has a thick, black center that really sticks.
IIRC they sell their rolls for about 59 cents a roll. They have one aisle
that has every kind of tape imaginable.

The best and strongest double back tape I have found is "Permacel P50" . I
have been using it for about 10 years and have never had a router jig move
on me. It is very strong so you need to learn how much to use. I also use it
to hold the wood facing on my bench vices. I have to pry them off with a
screw driver to change them. In fact this tape is so strong most times the
wood breaks before the tape releases off the vice face. I have never had
much luck with the cheap hardware store carpet tapes.

Here is a link to where you can purchase some P50 tape.

I bought a couple years supply of this stuff at, of all places, Harbor
Freight. Cheap ... and you need be careful how much you use or the struggle
to part the pieces begins.

I use the fabric backed double sided tape. The backing looks like a mesh
arrangement. It's never let me down and I put a lot of stress on it. I've
found that the paper backed double sided tape about useless.

I usually get it at Ace hardware or Lowes.

One caution though. Don't use a huge amount of the stuff or you may not be
able to get things apart without causing damage to the parts. Small squares
place strategically work well along with leaving a fairly large length
untaped to give you a starting point of getting things apart.

Good luck

For the non-Missourians, Hood's was/is to K-Mart what K-Mart
was/is to Nieman Marcus.

I'm not even sure they cleared out the inventory whenever
the Missouri and Mississippi flooded.

The glue seems to hold better than the tape (based only on my experience) so
one would think it would be ok for securing templates, but I haven't tried
so I can't say from personal experience.

Find a carpet supply business in your area not a carpet store but a place that
carpet layers get their supplys from. You can get double sided tape pretty
cheap there. I went to Wood Craft & they wanted something like $14.00 a roll.
Got the same size roll at the carpet supply house for $5.95.

From one road warrior to another.

Use the factory plate to make a master plate from 1/4" hardboard.

Use the master template to make copies from scrap Lexan, etc, available from
plastic distributors "rem" bins.

Well, essentially I'm a newbie, building out a shop and catching up on 20
years I could have been learning and building things because was a road
warrior consultant.

One of the things I want to do is make my own zero tolerance throat plates
for my table saw. Hot glue? I never thought of that. I have hot glue gun.
Do you think it would work for making the throat plate (template routing
using the factory throat plate as a guide).
