3M VHB Tape Video from Discovery Channel

Take a look at this pretty cool video on 3M VHB tape from the Discovery Channel. Many of us use VHB tape on a regular basis for signage and sign applications and it is very neat to see the full extent of what the product is capable of doing.

Adheso-Cut Tape Dispensing Unit from Nova Polymers

Nova introduces the Adheso-Cut tape dispensing device. Adheso-Cut is designed to allow tapes to be cut to s pre-determined lengths which will reduce time and labor while fabricating signage.

We have recently started carrying 3M adhesives and have found that most tapes are being manually cut to specifc lengths which can be time comcuming and costly for the fabricator. Adheso-Cut is meant to stream line the cutting of adhesives and add more profit to each sign that is produced.
