3M VHB Tape 5952F | Sign Channel Bonding Tape | 3 Metres

3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952F tape is a high-quality all-around double-sided tape for multiple applications such as attaching a sign channel. It provides excellent adhesions to most powder-coated finishes, paints, metals, glass, acrylic, sealed wood, polycarbonate, and ABS plastics.

It is ideal for attaching our aluminium sign channels to permanent signage and a great alternative to riveting. This is especially useful if the sign face is already applied. It is easy and quick to use and permanently fixes the channel to the sign without complex surface preparations. All that is needed is cleaning wipes which are available here.

The 19mm wide acrylic foam tape also works for wall-mounting signs, nameplates, house numbers, and non-signage-related uses such as shop fitting, automotive trims, and metal sheet fabrications.
