If you need a reliable solution for strongly bonding, attaching, or mounting substrates having high surface energies, then 3M VHB 4905 Clear Acrylic Tape is all you need. The permanent bonding tape is the ideal replacement of rivets, screws, liquid adhesives, and spot welds as it ensures durable adhesion without any hassle. Durably designed, the bonding tape is perfect to be used in the presence of UV light, moisture, or chemicals due to its unflinching resistivity. The double-sided adhesive tape is transparent and therefore can be used on glass or acrylic materials and other lightweight substrates.
I used these in my car, tried several times, to hold a phone mount. the foam stuff gets soft and th glue lets go.
I will state very clearly: Believe (and heed) the reviews which warn about how it is nearly impossible to use these adhesive dots. I consider myself adept at peeling off adhesive backer from, for example, labelmaker tape, double sided tape, decals, etc. However, it is ridiculously difficult to peel the red protective layer off of these dots to expose the adhesive. I tried using my finger nails, fine tweezers, a safety pin, an Xacto knife, etc. Eventually, after 2 minutes of delicate surgery, I was able to pull away the protective paper, but by that time the adhesive "dot" was no longer round and flat; instead, it was all balled up, like a tiny piece of used chewing gum. I had intended to use these dots to secure a glass flower vase to the top of a glass pedestal, but no way will these work for that. I will be returning this product.
Some product. Only thing that really works!
I searched the net, watched Youtube, read the comments on Amazon, but was unable to find any reliable way to peel off the backing tape from these dots. It took me five minutes to peel one dot and by the time I was done it was not round shape any more or stick to anything. And it seems like the only material this tape sticks well to is its backing tape, metal or painted wood -- not so much.
Expensive for how little you get. I was expecting great holding power but was quite disappointed. May be ok for very very light things, But for anything else it will not hold.
Needed it for my stair lights and works very well.
Terrible product- came folded and only 1 out of 5 was good. Hard to peel off the protective film.
Works great for application

Fast and easy-to-use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability Virtually invisible fastening keeps surfaces smooth Can replace mechanical fasteners (rivets, welds, screws) or liquid adhesives for transparent applications Clear, 0.020 in (0.5 mm) with general purpose acrylic adhesive Eliminate drilling, grinding, refinishing, screwing, welding and associated clean-up Creates a permanent seal against water, moisture and more Pressure sensitive adhesive bonds on contact to provide immediate handling strength Allows the use of thinner, lighter weight and dissimilar materials
TapeCase is a 3M Preferred Converter; we sell 3M tapes in non-standard sizes. 3M has partnered with TapeCase to make their products available in a larger assortment of sizes. Adhesive tape converting is the process of taking large master rolls of adhesive tape and converting it into specific sizes or shapes that make it easier to use in a variety of applications.
Die-cut VHB tape offers a custom bonding solution which reduces time, process steps and overall costs in the assembly process. VHB tape is specifically designed to replace screws, bolts, mechanical fasteners, rivets, welding and liquid adhesives. Use VHB tape anywhere you need to create a permanent bond between two substrates.
Many times, the most time-consuming part of bonding applications is cutting the tape to size, trimming it and then forming the tape to the configuration needed; especially if the same cutouts are required again and again.
We offer many shapes and sizes, so instead of spending a lot of time cutting out the shapes for your assembly, use our die-cut 3M VHB Tape 4905.
Our die-cut VHB tape will help solve your project challenges, cut costs, improve performances and create efficiencies in your assembly process.
The time-savings alone will be money well spent!
3M VHB Tape 4905 is ideal for situations where a clear attachment method is preferred
The 4905 family of 3M VHB Tapes utilizes a general purpose adhesive. It is commonly used in applications to join transparent material or where clear or colorless tape is preferred. It is specifically designed for good adhesion to metal, glass and plastics such as polycarbonate and acrylic.
3M VHB Tapes were invented in 1980 as the first of their kind. These unique tapes combine conformability with a strong, permanent bond. The result is a family of extraordinarily strong tapes that adhere to a broad range of substrates. 3M VHB Tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other forms of mechanical fasteners. Skyscrapers, cell phones, electronic highway signs, refrigerators, architectural windows and more all rely on this specialty bonding tape for one or more steps in the assembly, mounting, fastening and sealing process. This trusted and reliable tape offers a consistent bond, outstanding durability and excellent solvent and moisture resistance.
3M VHB Tape offers a durable bond in a way that mechanical fasteners can't. This tape enhances the appearance of finished goods by eliminating rivets and screws while providing immediate handling strength. In most cases, fastening with 3M VHB Tape is a quicker process than drilling, fastening, or using liquid adhesive. This versatile line of tapes can be used indoors or outdoors in a variety of applications, including window, door and sign assembly, electronics, construction and countless other industrial applications. Chemically resistant as well as UV and temperature stable, 3M VHB Tape can withstand the heat of Dubai to the cold of Canada. The unique acrylic chemistry is extremely durable and resistant to change over time, making this a long-lasting and powerful tape you can trust.
For best results from 3M VHB Tapes the surfaces should be clean and dry, and provide adequate pressure for ensuring a permanent bond with substrates. Also, ensure the application temperature is sufficient to build adhesion. 3M VHB Tapes will build adhesion with time. You can use adhesion promoters to increase adhesion or improve durability on select materials.
