Sample Comments
Doesn't that require specific adhesive (that is rather bad at being sticky)?
I use gaff tape, matte finish and it doesn't leave residue (usually).
It says it is using some kind of adhesive
I'd imagine a little glue helps ;)
Is the exact glue material known?
Probably simpler to spray some kind of adhesive.
This is why scotch tape exists. :)
Maybe it needs some flextape
Nothing a little Gorilla Glue can't handle
Wait, why can't you cover it with tape?
