    What is the general thought on the best Double-Sided tape to use?

    I am ordering some for some eyelids as well as to attach an emblem/badge to my grillcraft that is waiting to be installed.

    I want to make sure that the tape I use will bond well enough that I don't have to worry about the items coming lose/falling and thus losing them.

    I've searched for 3M double sided time but there seems to be a dozen or so different "styles" of them. Which do you guys find to be the best/strongest?

    Any of you guys know if I can find the same tape at Lowes or Wal-Mart? No Home Depot in my town, but have a Lowes & Wal-Mart within a few miles.

    Yes it will stick like mad. In fact...be sure you have the exact placing of your eyelids or you will be very hard pressed to remove them without destroying either the tape and having to reapply it or the eyelids themselves. I managed to use the entire roll of tape on my eyelids if I remember. Either way, there is MORE than enough to put on them.

    Yeah I noticed when I read through the feedback on the guy that sells the T-Rex eyelids on eBay that a couple of people commented things like:

    "Nice eyelids, but why don't you include the double-sided tape anymore?" etc.
