Description
The Gorilla mounting tape 1.52 m is a double-sided mounting tape for permanent fixings without screws, nails or drilling. The tape suits many common materials, such as metal, glass, plastic, ceramic and painted surfaces and many smooth stone surfaces. The clear or black (depending on the product variant) tape compound gives a neat, discreet result.
The thick construction of the tape evens out slight unevenness and increases the contact area, which improves adhesion even on slightly rough substrates. The permanent acrylic-based adhesive forms a strong bond that withstands normal variations in temperature and humidity. This makes the product a practical choice for rooms with occasional humidity or temperature changes too.
The roll length of 1.52 m gives flexibility: you can cut exactly the piece of tape you need for a single hook, cable trunking, trim or panel. Tape fixing is quick to do and needs no curing time: when the substrate is clean and the tape is pressed carefully into place, the fixing is ready for use straight away.
The tape lets you avoid drill holes and damage to the surface on delicate substrates. It is also useful for retrofits and temporary trade fair/exhibition solutions where speed of installation and a neat appearance are important. When the fixing should be as discreet as possible, a double-sided solution is often best.
Intended use:
-
Permanent indoor installations (hooks, trims, light panels): Double-sided tape allows fixing without drilling on painted walls, ceramic tiles and glass. Clean and degrease the substrate, cut the right length and press firmly over the whole area. Taping saves time and minimises surface damage, which is useful, for example, in rented premises and finishing work.
-
Finishing electrical and HVAC installations (trunking, trims, light enclosures): When you route cables or fit low cover strips, the tape quickly gives enough support without mechanical fasteners. Level the substrate and avoid dust: the larger the actual contact area, the more durable the joint. The tape reduces vibration noise and keeps the installation neat.
-
Fixing furniture and interior solutions (mirrors and decorative panels, name plates):* When you want a discreet fixing, the tape stays out of sight. For heavy mirrors, use only tape that is mirror-compatible/specifically approved by the manufacturer and follow surface-specific restrictions (*check product-specific suitability for mirrors). For light name plates and trims, the tape is an agile solution.
-
Outdoor use and vehicle accessories (light trims, protective films, reflectors): The acrylic adhesive withstands normal weather conditions, so installations also succeed outdoors when the substrate is clean and dry. Avoid heavy loads during the first hours so that adhesion has time to develop.
-
Trade fairs, shops and temporary structures: Quick installations without drilling or damaging paint. The tape suits merchandise displays, signs and decorative elements where speed of installation and neatness are important. Plan removal in advance by choosing a substrate that can withstand removal of any adhesive residue.
Features:

-
Surface compatibility: Metal, glass, ceramic, painted surfaces, many plastics – Wide range of uses when the substrate is clean and dry.
-
Structure: Thick tape compound – Evens out small unevenness and increases contact.
-
Working environment: Indoor/outdoor – Suitable for a wide range of installations when surfaces are prepared correctly.
-
Requirements at installation: Pressure and cleanliness – High surface pressure and careful degreasing ensure permanence.
Gorilla mounting tape: instructions for use:
-
Preparation: Clean dust, grease and loose material off the substrate (isopropyl alcohol is a recommended cleaner for many surfaces). Dry the surface.
-
Measuring and cutting: Cut a sufficient length of tape. Several shorter pieces can spread the load better than one long one.
-
Fitting: Remove the liner from one side and attach the tape to the item to be fixed. Press firmly over the whole area. Remove the other liner and position the part.
-
Pressing: Press firmly all over for 20–30 seconds. Avoid loading it straight after installation so that adhesion has time to strengthen.
-
Care and removal: Clean off visible adhesive residue with a cleaner suitable for the surface material. When removing, detach it carefully by pulling and, if necessary, by softening the adhesive residue.
Warnings:
-
Not recommended for dusty, slippery coated or oily surfaces without thorough preparation.
-
Not recommended for permanently damp or submerged locations.
-
For mirrors, PP/PE plastics, powder coatings and porous stone surfaces, check suitability with a test.
-
Avoid loading the tape with shearing/peeling forces; design the load to act along the surface.
-
Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid getting adhesive on the skin and in the eyes.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
How quickly does the tape reach its final adhesion?
The fixing is immediate, but adhesion strengthens over several hours. Avoid loading heavy parts straight after installation.
Does the tape work outdoors?
Yes, when the surface is clean and dry at the time of installation. Weather and UV resistance are good for acrylic adhesives, but a test is recommended for critical applications.
Can the tape be removed without damage?
Permanent tape may need force and leave adhesive residue. Removal works best by pulling slowly and softening the adhesive residue with a suitable cleaner.
Does the tape withstand damp rooms?
Occasional humidity yes, but constant moisture or immersion is not recommended. Good pre-cleaning is essential.
