Thanks for the 3M links. They make me more comfortable with maybe using them on my solar panels for my CT.

Wow, that is fast. When you watch the races on TV, there is little sensation of the speeds being run. But this video sure brings it to life. No wonder it can be very stressful.

I think that the 3M VHB or UHB is often used to hold the windows in skyscrapers. :shock:
There are countless variants of the tape and I suppose critical to get just the right one for the application.

All you have to do is call them and tell them what you are doing, and they will make a recommendation. They'll even tell you where you can purchase.

Thanks KC for that bit of advice. I will do just that, along with asking about the temperature requirments for installing.

any luck with the panels?
Loved the videos, by the way.
I lived in the tri-cities in my teens and saw a lot of races in the 80's.
There has been many changes in the sport since, but still way cool!

Thank you Romer! Unlimited Hydro Racing is truly amazing and I'm lucky to be part of it all.

Regarding the Astroliner... Carrie and I recently bought a couple acres out in the country, with a home built in 1948, a stocked pond and plenty of room for some livestock and gardens. So, we've been tirelessly working every night into the wee hours to get things ready to move in. So the coach is on hold for a bit until we get settled. Give me a couple weeks and hopefully I can give an update! Thanks for following...

Ditto for me. Would have loved to had this opportunity years ago.
