I've been swapping pickups around and I want my own roll of 3M VHB tape. That's the stuff that all the stick-on SBT units use. They always give you a little extra for if you need to reposition the thing. And I save the stuff. But I'm getting tired of piecing together bits of the stuff. So I ordered some on line, but what came is thicker spongier stuff that the typical stuff for pickup uses. And I'm having a hard time figuring out what else to order. 3M's designations are confusing.

I asked 3M, waiting for answer. You could just ask LR Baggs.

This one says it’s 0.025" thick. I looked through the 3M site and couldn’t find one that was thinner. They have one that’s specified for wood but is only available in industrial quantities. |

Good luck getting a reply. I brought up Calvin in another thread and nobody even knew who he was. Now you want to talk about Luther? The reformation is over, pal.

Cool. $37.50 seems a bit stiff. But I put a roll in my "cart." I already ordered this, which is also 25 mils thick. www.amazon.com/dp/B00CC470T6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsOnly $14.65 |

One of those cases where I don't think the cheap stuff will match the expensive stuff.

Every product I'm looking at is a 3M VHB tape. The one Mark posted for $37 is the same stuff I found for $11, but in a smaller width and shorter length. I'm not wrapping the world. Plus these are being sold on Amazon by resellers so their markups vary.

Ahh, your links do not indicate what you are linking to, only that you are finding cheaper and cheaper things.

Amazon dropped off my roll of 3M VHB 493012 this afternoon. Looks like the same stuff used by all the SBT pickup companies. That should work fine. I assume the "12" at the end refers to 1/2 wide roll. Interestingly there's no designation on the tapes other than 3M VHB. The various thicknesses and widths of material show up on a label on the outside package.
