(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I've been using this tape for various things for years, VHB stands for Very High Bond - and they aren't exaggerating. Don't put it on something you expect to remove any time soon.So long as you clean the surfaces you want to stick well, no dust or grease left, and support the item if it's relatively heavy - typically you only have to support things for 2-3 days; once it's on -it's on. I've used it to tidy up a desk by sticking all the ugly power bricks to the underside, attach small clear hooks for Christmas lights to PVC trim, and numerous other things over the years. I used to jokie I only needed two tools - duct tape and WD40, I was wrong. I need 3 tools, duct tape, VHB tape, and WD40.I'll repeat my warning, don't use this if you want to remove things later. Also, if you stick to plaster, it will almost certainly remove a chunk if you try to remove the item later. This is the tape for when you need something to stay EXACTLY where you put it until the end of time.

Used to replace the tapes on an Alexa mount. Stuck the mount to the side of the kitchen unit no problem. Been on now for a good month so definitely would recommend this.

Used this to stick led light strips to my motorbike. So far it has held them on for a good few months in the wind and rain. Also used some of it to do the same to a friend's bike and it's held on.

1.0 out of 5 stars Heavy Duty? More Like Heavy Disappointment—This Tape Can’t Even Hold a Clock!

A. · 9 September 2024

The AKEKEY 3M VHB 5952 Double-Sided Tape markets itself as "heavy-duty mounting tape," boasting waterproof and heat-resistant qualities, which sounds like a dream for renters who can’t put nails in the walls. I bought it based on glowing reviews, expecting a powerful hold for various items around the house. But honestly, my experience was far from impressive. If you’re looking for something that can genuinely stick, you might want to keep looking.First ImpressionsStraight out of the packaging, the tape feels sticky and thick, which gave me some initial hope. It comes in a neat roll, and the adhesive seemed strong when you touch it. With high expectations, I tried to mount my whiteboard to the wall, fully trusting the “heavy-duty” label. The idea of no nails and no mess sounded perfect.PackagingThe tape came in pretty standard packaging—nothing particularly notable. It’s a roll of tape in a small plastic wrapper, which is fine for what it is. The branding certainly makes it look reliable, and I did appreciate the convenience of it being ready to use straight away.Product QualityUnfortunately, this is where the disappointment sets in. Despite being advertised as “heavy-duty”, this tape couldn’t even hold up a simple whiteboard. Within a few hours, the whiteboard came crashing down. I couldn’t believe it, especially after seeing so many reviews raving about how strong this tape supposedly is.After that failure, I gave it another go with something lighter—a small wall clock. I thought surely this could handle a tiny clock, but nope, the clock fell off just as quickly. My old velcro strips did a better job than this so-called “mounting” tape.To make matters worse, I was hoping the tape’s no-nail approach would make it ideal for a renter like me, but it turns out this product is about as useful as putting chewing gum on the wall.Ease of UseOn the bright side, the tape is easy to use—you cut it, peel it, and stick it on. But what’s the point of ease when the product doesn’t do what it’s supposed to? The “heavy-duty” label feels like false advertising when even light objects can’t stay up for long. The waterproof and heat-resistant claims didn’t come into play here, because it failed the most basic test of holding things in place.VerdictHonestly, I wouldn’t recommend this tape to anyone looking for a reliable, heavy-duty adhesive solution. Despite the waterproof and heat-resistant claims, it simply doesn’t deliver when it comes to strength. If you need something to hold up more than a piece of paper, steer clear of this tape. For now, my velcro strips are doing a far better job!
