where can i get strong double sided tape??

i recently bought some black double sided tape from CT that is suposidly strong enough to hold side moldings on your car... thats what the tape was actualy for but i used it to hold in some stuff on the interior of my car....

the thing is that everyday when i get to my car the stuff just falls off from the heat... i don't need something that just keeps falling off and pissing me off...

does anyone know anywhere that i could get some GOOD double sided tape?? oh and it has to be black cause im using it to stick something to my glass and id rather it be black then white cause that would stand out too much.


thanx

I know where you can get some nice strong double-sided tape.

Go to Kennedy and Steeles, there is pacific mall there but don't go inside. On the outside of Pacific between market village, there is a store around the corner name "Curry's" and it's a arts and crafts store. They have lots of different double-sided tape there. I am not too sure if there is black but it's worth a try.

when applying any adhesive u have to make sure the area is free of grease, oil or other contaminants or else the bond will be comprimised...give the area a good clean with some break clean and u should be dandy
