Good morning Project Farm. All these tape videos, but I dont see a Measuring Tape vid

[@azazel1667]

I know this is an older vid but I think your sheer load test may have a flaw. Ive noticed that as it pulls the test peice pulls away at the bottom more like a peel than show the sheer strength of the adhesive/fastener. I think if you supported on both sides of the test peice like your tensile strength test in this vid it may give more accurate results. Thanks for giving genuine unbiased reviews and tests!

[@mrmustangman]

[@beri232]

Here’s a very important variable you left out…. heat. I used the 30lb Gorilla Glue on an LED light strip in my garage (under a cabinet). The tape ran the entire 6 foot length of light strip. The light strip maybe weighed 5lbs total and was only an inch wide. It held great over the winter but in the summer when the garage reached a temperature of about 25 degrees celsius to 30 degrees celsius the tape let go. Pretty important factor given my application was well within the expected uses of this product.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@TimSmith-db1iu]

It's hard to come by, but I found that Scotch outdoor permanent tape 5-15 lbs to be the best for most applications, including applications where it gets hot. I believe the logo has a picture of a hanging circular star looking thing. I've tried them all, and I use a lot of this tape, and the Scotch seems to be the most permanent. If you use it indoors like to hang a picture, it will tear off the drywall if you're not careful.

Not worth the video. Any filter only system will leave behind particles in the water (good minerals or bad chemicals).

I LOVE PROJECT FARMS! More videos please... Take care, 🤓 -Thomas Western Washington State

[@ProjectFarm]

Thomas, Thank you very much for the positive comments!!

[@Sisima13]

Okay...now witch one won’t rip my wall when I take it off

[@punishedproduct]

Very well done man! Im glad there is ppl like you on KZbin!

[@Stacy_Smith]

DAMMIT! You should've done glass! My spot mirrors keep falling off. You should've put these in an oven at very low heat (125F) to test adhesion under heat.

[@ProjectFarm]

Sorry about that. 3M VHB would definitely win.

[@Mr330d]

Stacy Smith Clean the glass first with methylated spirits or white spirit ☺️

[@charlesrich3975]

As I said on another comment I've always used 3m brand of double sided tape and have never had a problem with use on glass.

[@Stacy_Smith]

@@Mr330d It's not that, it's weakening in the heat of the sun. I use starting fluid followed by alcohol, followed by window cleaner. It works best except for one *exception. Starting fluid disolves everything from cigarette tar to 5th wheel grease. I actually have used starting fluid expediently dry clean my uniform at work one time. I use the alcohol to remove traces left after evaporation and to remove the traces of upper cylinder lubricant. The window cleaner removes any streaks (probably trace amounts of lubricant) left behind from the alcohol. *ONE EXCEPTION: I live in between 2 coke (pyrolyzed coal) plants and beside a steel mill (AK Steel). We have "hard humidity" here. It's basically hard water vapor suspended in the air. Over time it leaves a film on EVERYTHING including glass. Starting fluid WILL NOT put a dent on this film! You might as well be using plain water. No, what you need to remove a film caused by hard humidity is pure white vinegar. Heinz or Great Value, it doesn't matter, just buy it by the gallon to save money. Then hit it with the Triple Threat cleaning method I mentioned above.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for watching and subscribing!

[@tehArgento]

This is a pretty useful channel

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@1kreature]

You didn't test "load over time" which is the most important for fixing stuff to a wall with tape. In my experience it is just a matter of time and stuff falls down...

[@ProjectFarm]

Great constructive feedback! Thank you!

[@5jjt]

How would you suggest that he sets-up such a test. What would be the parameters? TIA

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

@@5jjt Stick a piece of wood, plastic and/or metal to a wall for the recommended adhesion time, then put various weights on them and see how long it takes for them to fall. or you could do it by hanging weight from them as well.

[@hyderjaved5895]

the amount of work one has to go through to complete a legitimate and accurate test is crazy, thanks to project farm in helping us best choose the right products

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for watching!

[@JohnDoe-jo7mf]

The amount of work and time being put on this video just outstanding channel like this deserves more view and subscribers.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the nice comment.

[@Davegbuf]

Great review overall. The information is good for my purposes. I have a small issue with the testing or maybe it's just another test category to consider because it all depends on how you are going to use the product. I noticed on the vertical pull tests, especially on the metal, that the two pieces always separated away from the bottom. With that in mind, "how does it apply to reality?" ... I say to myself. An object stuck to a wall will most always separate from the top first because of gravity pulling down, and you would need to rely on the tape to support both the total weight of the object as it pulls outward but that will be greatly diminished by how much surface area of tape it needs to slide downwards on. This brings me to the important test, that is related and I would have wanted to see ... The test where the two surfaces slide apart parallel from each other, rather than tear away from each other. Using your metal vertical pull test as sn example, I would like to see a perfect pull vertically without separation first from the bottom. This means that the cable needs to be perfectly centered and perhaps add a slightly loose wedge both sides (like a track) to keep the pieces in parallel to the track. My prediction would be that the tapes strength will be very much higher for all across the board. Thanks again. Geat review.

[@Alex_Off-Beat]

I'd really like to see 3M VHB tape with primer tested on glass and aluminum. The 3M primer really does make a massive difference, without the primer it might barely stick to a surface but after priming it's almost impossible to remove! I work in construction as a glazier and use it all the time so it'd be cool to see some testing done with it.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

[@donnavw5187]

Thank you for this ... You did a great job and now I know which tape I will need for my project. Excellent tests - very professional.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks and you are welcome!

[@anthonychihuahua]

I wish I could give this man and his channel a million dollars for ALL his painstaking and superior work in bringing us his detailed videos. I was looking for these products precisely, and finding this test sealed my decision. Thank you VERY much, Project Farm!

[@ProjectFarm]

My pleasure!

[@anthonychihuahua]

@@ProjectFarm I appreciate you and all your excellent efforts, thanks!!

[@CPUDOCTHE1]

We used the 3M VHB tape to mount the gear tracks when we built a CNC plasma table. It has held up well for over 3 years and was a real pain when we had to remove a section of the track.

[@aaronwells6608]

I use VHB tape to mount a solar panel on top of my pickup canopy. It's been on there for about 8 years now... baking all summer, freezing all winter, whistling down the freeway at 75... No sign of failure so far.

[@ashleyreid4892]

Where can I buy it and pick it up today?

[@EpilepsyWarning]

Omg you did my suggestion thank you so much

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you very much for requesting this one and sorry it took me so long.

[@prasadkrishnapillai4790]

Very useful knowledge. Very extensive testing. Really appreciate the effort and reporting methodology. Well done.

[@NewShockerGuy]

I need to mount something under my headlight and it's metal and the headlight material is plastic... for some reason I was hoping you made a video on double sided tape.... and here we are. So glad you do these! You are one of the few people on KZbin that puts the time in and gives a non biased results. I love it! You rock!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@odbo_One]

Are you reading my mind, I am about to head to the store for some double sided tape. Thanks for the save man!

[@ProjectFarm]

Lol

[@giovsif]

Question. On the first test wouldn’t the placement of the single bolt skew the results since if the bolt isn’t perfectly centered then the force is less evenly distributed to varying degrees between tests? Maybe I’m wrong. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JC-hi6yi]

Great job...pretty scientific too!! I'm reattaching some trim to my truck and this video helped me decide which tape will best meet my needs. THANKS!!!!

[@mojorizn72]

Hands down THEE best channel on KZbin.

[@joehuttle7414]

I came across a few cans of 30(?) year old Mobile 10w-40 with an API SF rating. I would be willing to send one to you for comparison with new conventional 10w-40 and maybe synthetic to see how much oil is different now. Might make an interesting vid.

[@calculator1841]

I hope you still have it and that Project Farm reads this and does that test!

[@Amedeus1756]

On your Teespring shirts,can you make one up with that beat up lawn mower that you always use for your comparison tests with some funny statement on it, I would surely buy one.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great suggestion! Thank you!

[@AlexcasaCVC]

Also one that says "Whoah that's a lot of damage!" :D

[@TrolliousProsperitus]

Maybe "Very impressive!". Don't know why, but when he says it, I'm like "Yeah, that was impressive!"

[@slo232000]

So glad that i found project farm about a year ago. Love watching the videos and getting genuine, honest and unbiased testing for products so we know which perform better. Project farm, I know you normally list out the products used for testing in the video description but curious if you could ever post links/details on the products/equipment used during your testing, such as gauges/readers, scales for various measurements such as torque, tensile strength, etc.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@WantonSoup192]

Nice to have a video with replicates for each test. So tired of other testing videos that use an n=1. Love your thoroughness

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@SeanCMonahan]

I think some of the tensile strength tests were affected by the blocks tilting as they were pulled apart. Because each block only had a single pin, they could swivel a bit, turning some of the tensile force into shearing. Maybe using two pins per block would keep the tape line more level for future tensile tests. Anyway, this is a great video as always! Your videos have informed a number of my recent purchasing decisions. Since discovering your channel, I always check if you've tested whatever I'm looking to buy. One thing I'd love to see you test or review would be torque wrenches! I have one that is rated from 20-100 ft.-lbs, but I need one that can do 10-15 ft.-lbs for car repair stuff. I hear horror stories about torque wrenches being wildly out of calibration leading to snapped bolts and damaged engine blocks.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the video idea.

[@JaceEntertainment]

Not just that after a few days it's stronger .

[@bearpawtimber8739]

Holy smokes! Double stick tape. Genius. I've been folding my tape over for many years.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@IconicProps]

I am not going to lie. Your channel may be one of the most useful channels I check out. There are more interesting topics, but your array of comparisons is a helpful thing to almost any human that wants to do the job right, the first time.

[@ProjectFarm]

Wow, thank you!

[@mchevownr]

Always love your reviews sir! Thank you for what you do. I would’ve never considered LLPT tape. I used to only buy 3m.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks and you are welcome!

[@narlycharley]

Please test two cycle engine oils. Great material as always!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@richardlittle8684]

I'd like to see this too. Amsoil says there oil ratio is 100:1 and it provides better protection than 50:1. I'm skeptical.
