Hi guys ,have you any recommendations for the best double sided tape for chucking small pieces !
Also any good advice on quality lamp holders for table lamps, and good quality sandpaper or rotary sanding pads?

I muse hot glue. Experien ce tught me that double sided tape can come off too easily. Especially if you are using it on a wooden faceplate. Abfasive I het from
Richard Kennedy at the The Turners Workshop
. I cut it up for pads. Mch easier and cheaper than buying ready made circles.

I agree with Pete double sided tape is of very limited value, hot melt glue is far better value. On lamp holders I choose brass ones over plastic, that forces 3 core cable as it needs to be earthed but adds to the quality of the piece.

I’ve not used it for wood that I remember but on plastic and metal it’s worked very well.

I stopped using tape some time ago, mostly because I found other ways and means. If you are using tape make certain the finish on both faces to be stuck is flat and clean and get your tape supplies from your local carpet fitters rather than a crafty shop.

I still have the remains of the roll of tape I got when the company I worked for closed down in the late 1980’s. It still works well. Sadly it doesn’t have a make on it so I don’t know what to buy when it runs out.
