3M™ VHB™ Tapes tug of war

[@phuturephunk]

That guy in the lab coat during the shear test is insane.

[@rich1051414]

+phuturephunk The test almost became a different kind of sheer test. How well aluminum can sheer off your head.

[@peatear42]

How could he stand that close? those metal sheets can actually cause some serious injuries.

[@RoboTekno]

3M VHB tape, the Chuck Norris of the tape world.

[@itzed]

Thos guys next to the train and watching the demo could not have cared less.

Hells Bells that stuff ROCKS!

krap101: Exactly what I was thinking!

[@EternityForest]

I used like one square inch of this to hold a sponge to a soldering station. Seems to work fine. A sponge. The tape was on the scouring side(It was one of those biodegradable ones). I didn't clean the metal I stuck it to first.
I don't use it often but the fact that it works at all is crazy.

[@the.superiorspider9749]

so this can also hold a persons weight?

[@TabsRobotics]

I think that the force that was applied to the adhesive would be greater if only one truck was pulling and the other end was tied to a concrete post..

[@rich1051414]

+ghostperson204 It wouldn't of mattered. We all know now this stuff is not bullshit. The problem is trying to get stuff unstuck once stuck xD Craziest part is the tape is not even sticky. A bit tacky, but the hold is like witchcraft :P

[@aztexanguy]

@krap101 It was made in the 80's - 1988 I think

[@MrSlowestD16]

I'm not sure you can do that on accident, lol. Given the appearance of the drivers I'm pretty sure this is from the 80's :-P

[@gonepriused]

what number vhb tape are you using on the first test?

[@kathyripka8487]

3M 4950

[@krap101]

Cool video, but I wonder.. was it supposed to look like it was made in the 80's?

[@chris81983]

Is the the rp line of the vhb series tape

[@jjlwis]

oh no.... 3M bought this from scotch.. = (

[@Wolfenion]

[@HesterDW]

@krap101 maybe because it is?
