VHB Adhesive

I mentioned a week or two back about moving from the Garmin Virb action cameras to a set of GoPro cameras. With this move comes the replacement of the mounts.Between my bike and my helmet I had four mounts adhered to things.I've always wondered how tenacious the bond really is... you know, how much should I trust a bit of adhesive to hold on a camera when I'm cruising down the highway doing (let's all pretend for a moment) 60 miles per hour.Well, I can say that I now really trust them. Even holding a dryer on them for a few minutes and getting everything nice and toasty I can say with some certainly that I would be more than happy for them to hold a camera and then some.VHB - Very High Bond.Indeed it is.Not just the simple bond, but the viscoelastic that's between the sides of the tape is also just as impressive. I stretched the gray goo on the inside to at least three times its thickness and it did nothing but stretch -- all while holding onto both sides of the bond on both of its sides.Not to re-mount new mounts -- of the GoPro variety.
