I am putting a pressure switch on my 870 forgrip and am wondering what the best kind of tape to use and where to get it? Or if there is a better method to keep it fixed to foregrip

What about velcro strips?

I was thinking about that also and would love to use velcro but wondered if it would make the switch stick out to much.

I will probably try velcro first now that I think about it so I cant take it off for day use at the range or what not

Silicone sealer may hold it.

double sided 3M tape. You can find it at Wal-Mart. Tape is gray with a red cover on it. Be warned, once you put it on, it ain't coming off. (it MIGHT be 1/16" thick)

Yep, that 3M tape is pretty powerful stuff

It's durable enough that automobile manufacturers use it to attach body molding and trim pieces on new cars.
