I have used the double sided tape sold by Taylor Toolworks (taytools.com). I believe it is made by IPG. I have used it for securing router templates, workpieces on the CNC machine, etc., and have been very happy with it. I have used various carpet tapes and other double sided tapes over the years. I would certainly agree with others who have posted that carpet tape has drawbacks that make it less than ideal. This tape is easy to use, holds firmly, and removes without leaving any residue.
