Suggestion on what adhesive/glue to use

wait4me

I have a little magnetic mobile phone holder that I want to stick to my dashboard semi-permanently (I want to be able to remove it but I don't want it to drop off on its own). Obviously I don't want to ruin a dashboard with superglue. I had it stuck on a previous car (with its supplied adhesive) but when I removed as expected the adhesive is "kapput". Any suggestions on what I could use - glue/silicone?

A weird'ish question but somebody might know.

Silicone is what I was thinking, reading that. Dunno.

You're probably looking for double sided tape rather than glue

Etc

Get a double sided adhesive pad in woodies. When you want to remove it, use a hairdryer to heat the area, it will reactivate the adhesive and it will come away cleanly.

3M VHB tape, it has a red backing that says 3M VHB, strong stuff but removable.

I agree, if you have to stick it down then this stuff is hands down the best out there.
VHB stands for Very High Bond, its used a lot for Car trims and the like so more than likely its already holding something in that car.

Sorry Folks I know it's an old thread but it's ideal what I am looking for.

Where would u get that 3m vhb tape no where seems to have it. Its for sticking mobile phone holder to spongy dash part between the 2 vents in @2008 Ford mondeo.

it looks like the only place alright cant remeber the stickers i used to stick on my one. Most of the ones i tried are crap they come straight off ''Scotch White Mounting Tape'' supposed to hold bathroom mirrors not worth a crap.
