UPDATE: xFasten Double Sided Tape - do not recommend. Pls see below.

I wanted to clarify something on the double sided tape tip. Many have pointed out that the xfasten, while bonds strongly, is not stiff enough for cnc/template routing. While I have not had significant issues using the xfasten tape, I have gotten feedback from some folks that purchased the tape recently. I do not know if their formulation changed or what the issue is. The blue tape method is a perfectly fine method - if you like it, don't change a thing. I personally find it cumbersome. Over the last 2 weeks I have been using all of these methods and revisited the paper backed double sided tape and am falling in love with it again, despite the higher price tag. It seems to be the perfect hybrid - holds strongly with little/no deflection. Easy to tear. Comes off without any residue issue. etc etc. So at this time, I would not recommend the xfasten tape, instead, consider buying this (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/3S5OxjJ
