[Shop-talk] Balancing wheels

[Ian McFetridge]

Hi Eric,

Have you tried 3M automotive tape?  It’s very sticky, heat resistant (e.g.,
hold hot trim in the sun) and it is not prone to separating (like layers of
foam tape).  I have a role here if you are interested in trying it.  I’m in
New Hope, not far from you.

3M Super Strength Molding Tape, 03609, 1/2 in x 5 ft

Best,
Ian
