Default Double Sided Tape

You want to use 3M Molding Tape. The stuff sticks like pine tar so long as you have really clean surfaces. Recomend it strongly. LOL

I got mine in the Wal-Mart auto paint section and it has red backing. I'd give you the #, but I threw away the packaging. It works great!

3M is the good stuff. The indoor/outdoor grade is usually gray in color and has a red backing like Blueyednd said. I think I have bought it at Home Depot or Loews too. Pep-Boys may carry it too. Just make sure it specifies "for indoor/outdoor use". It is more UV resistant and handles temperature extremes much better. HTH

3M molding tape is very stong. I believe that the molding tape is the same as their VHB (Very high bond) double tape line. This is what you want to use. Order it from mcmaster.com - get the clear or grey stuff.

There are thick double sided tapes available but I've only seen the VHB at about 1/16". I wouldnt be suprised if it came thicker, and I bet you can double it up to make it thicker.
