Default Anybody looking for a strong Double Side tape enter...

So today I wanted to take the frame off my back plate and when i started unscreweing the bolts the heads popped off.. :doh: and there is no way of getting the screw out so I had to resort to taping the plate on... anyways I went to Home Depot and picked up 3M Heavy Duty Double Sided Tape (about 1/16" thick)... this stuff as strong as fawk.. just seconds after applying 3 strips to my plate and putting it on the right spot on the back it was done. I mean that by exerting 20-25lbs of force towards myself trying to pull the plate off and it wouldnt budge... really good stuff, i recommend it.. it comes with 4 1"x2" or so sticks for about 4 bucks total.. expensive but well worth it for anyone installing a lip or using it like i did...
