| Feature | 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive | 3M 90 Spray Adhesive |
|---|---|---|
| Bond Type | Repositionable to permanent | High-strength permanent |
| Tack Time | Fast tack (15-30 seconds) | Aggressive instant tack |
| Best For | Fabric, cardboard, foam, plastic | Heavy materials, high-stress bonds |
| Applications | Upholstery, crafts, general purpose | Automotive headliners, insulation |
| Repositioning | Yes (brief window) | No (immediate bond) |
Recommendation: Use 3M Super 77 for projects requiring some repositioning time. Choose 3M 90 spray adhesive for maximum bond strength on demanding applications.
Yes, 3M Micropore surgical tape is specifically designed for sensitive skin.
Key Features:
Common Uses: Wound dressing securement, IV tube stabilization, light compression bandaging, post-surgical dressings.
Alternative: For even more delicate skin, consider 3M Transpore tape which offers similar breathability with ultra-gentle adhesive.
Method 1: Using 3M Adhesive Remover (Recommended)
Method 2: Heat Method (for VHB tape)
Method 3: Mechanical Removal
Safety Tips: Test removal method on inconspicuous area first. Wear gloves when using solvents. Ensure adequate ventilation.
