Good news Antlions! Earlier this year we worked with 3M to source their latest and best new adhesive for our products. We landed on VHB 5952 which should provide a greater hold, longer shelf life, and still not cause harm to most surfaces when removed.
This new adhesive will be rolled out on each new product as production runs occur, starting immediately with our Accessory Combo Pack (now in stock).
While this new adhesive will be an improvement, the old adhesive has been serving us for over a decade and still works perfectly on most surfaces. However, if you have any issues with your adhesives please contact our customer service team for a replacement.
The core improvements to VHB 5952 include:
- A new plastic backing material should provide longer shelf life, resulting in better adhesion for unused adhesives or items that have been in inventory for long periods.
- The new material conforms better to rough, curved, and mesh surfaces and adhere to a wider ranger of surfaces with greater strength.
- The black color should blend better with the color of the base clasp.
In short, we believe this new adhesive is an all-around improvement to our already awesome base clasps!
