I've been using this tape for as long as I can remember, and likely bought my first roll from StewMac way back when I was learning to make my first instruments and did a big splurge on their overly-expensive tools like many people in that position do. Whilst not specifically designed for the luthier in mind (we misappropriate all kinds of things for our devious ends) this pressure-activated tape has cemented itself as a go-to for attaching thing A to thing B with legendary strength, reliability and convenience, whether it be for a few minutes or for several years.Ī strong double-stick tape is the perfect accompaniment for router templates and accurate temporary workholding such as desktop CNC, inlay pantograph milling, etc. These are without doubt the most common uses this tape sees in the average luthier's workshop and it more than pays for itself off the back of those tasks alone. 3M have a long-standing reputation for sticking it producing technically-excellent products that perform in demanding circumstances. I'm sure that the late great George Carlin didn't have double-stick tape in mind in this skit, however we might be able to take a shot at that booklet he proposed if we renamed it, " How You Can Go Stick It". I think there ought to be a government booklet entitled "Where to Stick It." You have absolutely no idea where to stick it. "You know where you can stick it." Well, why do we always assume everyone knows where they can stick it? Suppose you don't know suppose you're a new guy.
Anything from attaching router template to adhering pickguards onto acoustics, its versatility ensures that a smart luthier will always find new tricks and uses for it. 3M's thin-film double-coated adhesive tapes have been a mainstay product in a luthier's workshop for as long as we can remember.and probably longer.
