   Photo shops carry "Dry mounting tape"
   I think you have to warm the object to bond.

   another option is a vacuum hold down.  Carol Reed has a good setp in her book and shows how to make the various hold downs.. additional benefit is that you can use the setup as a vaccum press

   1 - measure the board twice, 2 - cut it once, 3 - measure the space where it is supposed to go        4 - get a new board and go back to step 1

   Some auto parts stores carry it.  That's where I bought mine.  The stuff I have was made by 3M

   I just use the more expensive double sided carpet tape...

   I do not recall ever having a problem using it... But I'm old and forgets stuff...

   NA.. I am sure there is better but.. Works fer me so I use it...

   Just DO NOT leave it there very long...

   DANG..  I just reread?  Whatever.. MAKE a small parts holding jig... Yes it is a pain resettin' for each side.. BUT It works better en tape!

   Yep,

   That carpet tape works well. Not sure which one is the expensive one, but the cloth tape is perfect, whereas the resin tape leaves residue and is very difficult to take off. HD/Lowes sell both types.

   We use it all the time,black double stick tape, check with a plastics supply house. Sorry I'm not sure who our vendor is.

    Another option that works well is a hot glue gun....

   I use the Intertape brand of double sided tape. It tears easily, leaves no residue and sticks well. They also make a green masking tape!

   I think that Hillas is the supplier I bought from ( http://www.hillas.com/Products/Intertape_Products/Default.asp ) but I can't decipher their product labelling to figure out which tapes I boght. Basically their 2" and 3/4" tapes.

   Good luck

   I didn't see the show but I believe the product could be a 3m product.

   401B 1"X36YD 5 Mil 3M Double Coated Tape 

   which is available from http://WWW.MSCDIRECT.COM page 3352

   MSC part no is 00188680.

    

   The tape separator is a green tartan pattern. I have used this for attaching various jigs and although its tough stuff it removes cleanly. It is much stronger then carpet tape. Hope this helps.

    Speaking of carpet, if you can blow out the dust around your workpiece,carpet padding also works well to hold the work while you rout.
