Re: [MUSEUM-L] another adhesive question 3M VHB (very high bond) Clear Acrylic Foam Tape typically works well for mounting such things. They have a bright red protective release film covering them. There are several varieties depending upon the particulars of the surfaces that it needs to adhere to and other variables such as with and thickness of the tape you want. Some varieties also come in opaque and other colors rather than clear. You can check them out in the 3M tape on-line catalog at:

Speaking of adhesives, I have a completely different kind of adhesive question to ask of the exhibit folks here.
What do you use to hold foam core panels to a painted wooden surface (wall)?  These are temporary exhibits, if being put up for a year and then taken down to be re-used again at some point in the future can be considered temporary.
Mostly what I've tried are the various 3M products (including the dots and strips of foam doublesided tape and the blue play-doh-like stuff sold for mounting posters), and none of them stay up reliably.  Whatever we use needs to be inexpensive.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
