Designing a Control Box: What Goes Into It?
Adhesives are a sadly overlooked aspect of tape selection. When you're purchasing tape for your business, it's easy to think about things like the material and the number of rolls. But too often, people don't consider the importance of the tape's adhesion. Different varieties of tape use different types of adhesive with different properties. If you don't factor in the adhesive type when you choose your tape, you might end up with an adhesive that's too weak or too strong for your projects. Too weak, and the tape will come loose. Too strong, and the tape might rip off paint or damage cardboard.
Anyone who’s left a roll of general purpose vinyl tape in the cab of their truck on a very hot summer day can attest to the fact that heat makes the adhesive soft. Extreme heat makes it ooze and flow.
