3M Molding Tape in Canada?



Hey all,

I've been looking everywhere for 3M Molding tape in Canada, but i just can't seem to find it. Even amazon.ca doesn't have it, but amazon.com does! Ahhh I hate our inventory up here lol.

I got the strongest adhesive I could find at home depot, but this isn't sticky at all. Its easily peeled.


So any Canadians know where to get this wonderful product?

ps. Between this and plasti dip (which I couldn't find easily either), I'm thinking the Canadian aftermarket market is not very good.

@ zhawa
I use the 3m exterior mounting tape for all my mounting needs, maybe you just arent using it right?
the adhesive needs time to cure, you cannot cut corners with mounting tape, you should always keep pressure on it and if possible use a heatgun or hairdryer to warm up the adhesive, once it cools off it will be stuck. Ideally, you should apply the tape and mount the piece on warm summer day, ensuring that all pieces to be joined are dry and free for loose dirt, let it cool overnight with something keeping pressure on it (sometimes this is difficult especially if what you are mounting sits perpendicular to the ground) ive done this with my evox nose overlay, my gps mount, my lip and my vortex generator, its been there +2 years no problem, if you combine the tape with either automotive glue or silicone the part will not come off your car unless you take the panel off with it =T

Thanks for all the help guys. I've decided to just use the tape and it seems to be holding fine thus far. I just pray that it doesn't fall off and hurt someone.

I'll try to use a blowdryer to see if I can get it to stick better also.

Dont use blow dryer or heat gun.. Just use alcohol wipes to clean the surface before putting it on..

I did just the alcohol the first time and it wasn't as good as when I used alcohol and a blow dryer. Looks like its stuck on pretty good.
