Sticky Tape

[jennyjoan]

I need really good sticky tape to mount my kitchen lights and I have bought adhesive but none of them worked.

However the tape that came with kitchen roll holder and toilet roll holder really strong and that would do but I can't find anything online.

Thanks for any help.

Jj really difficult to advise as to what are you sticking it to

[TonyV]

And why others haven't worked"

[jennyjoan]

you know the kitchen lights under the kitchen cupboard. when I got new granite tops the guys (they didn't know) accidentally touched them and they are falling down all the time.

[jennyjoan]

weren;t strong enough but as I say when I bought kitchen roll holder and toilet roll holder, they came with holders and they hold very well.

[jennyjoan]

^^^^ holders should be sticky tape

Google Hard as Nails sticky tape.

3M do a brilliant double sided tape.I stuck a battery, light activated, strip light on the interior of my firearms safe. Been there for 3 years.

I think I got the 3m tape in Sainsburys but the lights fell down.

[TonyV]

Did you clean surfaces befor sticking onto? First some white sprit then meth spirits to now you have a clean surface

These are some of 3M Scotch tape range. I use it to fix additional interior passenger mirror on my car windscreen as well.

I second what TonyV said about cleaning, especially in the kitchen. I use Command strips or Gorilla double sided.

Yes Retro a really good brand but will not stick to a greasy wall

Surely they have fixing instructions? I don't want to sound sexist ,but I suspect you need a man who knows!

[woofgang]

If yopu don't want to sound sexist then why are you sounding sexist?

[Tuvok]

Do you mean sticky fixers?

Nothing will stick to a greasy surface

Easy for any sex to do- with the right preparation- I have some brilliant decorating girls that l recommend if that's what client prefer rather than having a man in the house

[jennyjoan]

thanks for your answers but I have been doing DIY for quite a long time like replacing light switches, replacing fuses, painting and decorating so I was aware of the cleaning the grease per se and I had done so but as I say I know that the sticky tape that came with the kitchen and toilet roller would have done the job but sorry for repeating can't find it.

[jennyjoan]

this is the kitchen roll holder I purchased and put on myself. The adhesive strip that came with it was simply brilliant and I know it would suffice.
