as long as the pannel isnt covered in any kind of fabric id suggest VHB tape it works for everything

Thank you! I’ve just looked it up. Sounds like exactly what I need, and it’s easy to remove as well. Cheers.

Also clean the panel surface with rubbing alcohol before you apply the VHB.

I’m using VHB to attach a new acrylic backboard to a metal frame. I believe VHB was used in the original application. There was nothing easy about removing the old tape and residue.

I just read that Goo gone or WD-40 will do it. I guess I’ll find out one day.

Used both and steel wool and an orbital sander with 40 grit. 3M makes a removal product and has a video (I’m still seeing residue in the video), but that bond seems subatomic.
