Yes but what about afer a long time. Is it still strongly fix ? What do you think of double sided mounting tape

Epoxy is a permanent very strong adhesive, I have used lots of strong double sided tape and epoxy would be much better in my opinion.

No way you could get it to stay lined up as perfectly as you need it. these things are PRECISION cut and having it not sit perfectly would stick out like a sore thumb.

Ok, so epoxy !!

i thought he said erlier in the thread that he tried something like epoxy and it didn't turn out well

Arf. I will wait Charles' answer to know what he used...

I can speak to that because mine fell off.

He used to use epoxy (when he made mine about a year ago), but he was having a hard time keeping them on. So when I sent him an email about it, he mailed me some double sided tape. It's some specific kind though, he should be able to tell you the model number (it's made by 3M, I know that for sure). It's red, really thin, and kinda "gummy" (like a sticky gummy bear).

Hope that helps steer in you the right direction until the man himself shows up!

Yeah Jason... that sure sucked.

Originally, I used JB Weld which seemed to do the job but subsequently failed under static load. Jason got the "retrofit" solution for his 1st generation faceplate which was 3M industrial two sided tape. Now the brackets are mounted with an industrial 3M epoxy and the stuff is simply awesome!

Merci Charles ! So a good epoxy is the best...

Ahh! Thanks for the clarification, sensei!
