	Hello guys I been seeing some good things about 3m vhb tape, I was going to use a ph adhesive to attach a rear spoiler but heard the 3m vhb tape is good less messy and does the job, so off I went to see about this 3m vhb but there's so many different ones like 3m vhb 5952 and others with different numbers some with white tape some red tape, so I was wondering why so many and what is the best one to use for a rear spoiler I know they say you need to clean the surface with some ispro alcohol before attaching, so has anyone used 3m vhb and what one is the best one to use thanks in advance

	Here's some stuff on the 3M sites about the different types: www.3m.co.uk/3M/en_GB/company-uk/3m-products/~/All-3M-Products/Tapes-Adhesives/Industrial-Tapes-and-Adhesives/Double-Sided-Bonding-Tapes/3M-VHB-Tapes/?N=5002385+8710676+8710815+8710960+8711017+8713604&rt=r3 There's a PDF towards the bottom of that page that lists the various qualities of each type of tape, what kind of surfaces it's best at bonding, and so on. One issue for me would be - I bet this stuff isn't cheap (good stuff rarely is) and I'd be irritated about having to buy a big roll of something just to do a small job (and I'm only guessing, cynically, that a product aimed at trade and industry isn't available in small rolls). I've heard it mentioned for holding in the glass in my Audi convertible top, but I only need about 8" of the stuff.

	I was thinking using a pu sealant but thought it get to messy so ws thinking using the 3m VHB and then using the pu sealant around the edges but masking it up on both the spoiler and boot so it gives a clean seal and then whipping of the masking tape, lol sounds so good in my head lol
