    Hey everyone, hope you’re all having a good weekend.

    I need to put a few no parking signs up, normally I would just scare these in but this time they can’t so I need to use a double sided tape.

    What tape do you generally tend to use for sticking up things like this?

    Thanks

    We buy all of our tape from Essentra directly.
    General purpose double sided, foam and fun. Excellent products and price.
