FAQs
Is this tape suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the Pattex 8004630895441 mounting tape is designed for both indoor and outdoor applications and offers weather resistance.
Can I reposition the item after applying the tape?
This tape is intended for permanent installation. Repositioning is difficult and may damage the surface or the tape itself.
What types of surfaces can I use this tape on?
It is compatible with a wide range of materials including glass, mirrors, metal, wood, stone, and various plastics such as PA, PE, and PP.
How much weight can this tape hold?
The product information focuses on 'extra strong fixation' for permanent installation. Specific weight limits are not provided, but it is designed for robust applications like signs and house numbers. Always test on a small area if unsure about load-bearing capacity.
Does the tape leave residue when removed?
Due to its permanent nature, removal can be difficult and may potentially leave residue or damage the surface. It is not designed for easy removal.
Do I need any special tools to apply the tape?
No special tools are generally required. Clean surfaces and a firm pressing action are most important. A pair of scissors or a utility knife can be used to cut the tape to size.
What is the shelf life of this mounting tape?
The product information does not specify a shelf life. For best results, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use within a reasonable timeframe after purchase.
Troubleshooting
Tape is not sticking well
Ensure surfaces are completely clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Surface preparation (like light sanding on smooth surfaces) may be necessary. Ensure adequate pressure was applied during installation.
Difficulty removing the protective backing
Gently use a fine-tipped tool, such as a craft knife or tweezers, to lift a corner of the backing film. Avoid cutting into the adhesive.
Item is crooked after application
This tape is designed for permanent fixation. If alignment is critical, it is recommended to measure and mark the desired position precisely before applying the tape. For significant misalignments, the item may need to be carefully detached, and the tape removed (which may damage the surface or leave residue), followed by reapplication with new tape.
Residue left on the surface after removal (if attempted)
Residue can sometimes be removed using an adhesive remover suitable for the specific surface material. Always test the remover in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both surfaces to be joined are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any other contaminants.
- For optimal adhesion, lightly roughen smooth surfaces like glass or metal with fine sandpaper.
- Cut the tape to the required length.
- Remove the protective backing from one side of the tape.
- Carefully apply the tape to one surface, pressing firmly to ensure good contact.
- Remove the second protective backing.
- Press the second surface onto the tape, applying firm and even pressure for at least 30 seconds.
- Allow the bond to cure for the recommended time (refer to product packaging for specifics, typically 24 hours for full strength).
Compatibility:
This tape is compatible with a wide range of materials including:
- Glass
- Mirrors
- Metal
- Wood
- Stone
- Plastics (including PA, PE, PP)
Care:
As this is a permanent mounting solution, no specific ongoing care is typically required for the tape itself once applied. Ensure that the mounted items are not subjected to excessive force or weight beyond the tape's rated capacity. If the mounted item needs cleaning, wipe around the taped area carefully to avoid stressing the bond.
Important Note: Due to its permanent nature, test the tape on an inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about surface damage upon removal.
