THIN METALS
„
For thin aluminum or other thin metals:
Use less aggressive Double-Sided Tape. The 3M
™
#410
Double-Sided Tape is especially suitable for securing thin
aluminum or other light materials to avoid bending the metal
when lifting the material after cutting.
The 3M tape is available at most industrial and office supply
distributors.
Note: Do not use foam-filled Double-Sided mounting tape.
Spray adhesive works well on thin aluminum.
NON-METALS
„
For plastic, styrofoam, thin wood or other non-metallic
materials:
Use Spray Adhesive. Spray Adhesive is especially suitable for
securing plastic, styrofoam, wood or other non-metallic
materials.
Spray Adhesive is available at most industrial and office
supply distributors. The 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive is
recommended.
Low-tack tape may also be appropriate for certain types of
wood, which tend to splinter when the tape is removed if the
tape is the high-tack type.
Note: When using acrylic materials as workpieces, do not
remove the protective paper sheets which preserve the acrylic
surface from scratches during cutting. If the acrylic materials
are supplied unmasked, you may wish to apply the transfer
tape before spraying on the adhesive.
