A word of warning to teams considering it for the first time though: Be careful when using "Industrial strength" variants of dual lock, in our experience, the lock is so strong that the adhesive fails before the lock does. We've actually resorted to using crowbars to remove electrical components that were secured this way in the past.  |
Other places have this stuff way cheaper than McMaster (Amazon is your friend). I've found that the 10lb stuff is pretty good at keeping routers and switches on walls. When I first started, I bought the industrial stuff. The first time I removed the equipment with a sharp tug, I pulled the wallboard off. Granted it was badly installed with only three screws ....
On the other hand, the adhesive comes in temp ranges. So if you are putting it on something that may get hot, you might want to look at things other than the 110F degree versions.
