For 3m VHB tapes like any adhesive it is very important that the surface is clean in order to achieve a good bond.
Step 1: Surface cleaning
Cleaning the substrate surface helps any adhesive or tape achieve a better bond.
Getting the surface right up front can save time and trouble later.
Step 2: Tape Application By Hand
Start vhb tape at the edge of the surface and lay it down, applying constant pressure as you go.
Step 3: Using Final Pressure
Using pressure to the applied tape facilitates optimal wet-out onto the substrate.
A lot of pressure required to achieve what is typically known as wet-out or acceptable contact.
For example, It is achieved by the application of greater than 15 psi at the tape bond line.
