[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Tape switch mounting question

Posted: 10/15/2013 4:38:32 PM EDT

First off, yes, I know that tape switches suck, but they were the only option I like for this rifle (PS90, not an AR, but this is the only dedicated section for weapon lights so I'm posting here).

I'm using a Surefire G2 mounted on one of the side rails, with the tape switch mounted just above the forward grip. However, the adhesive that comes on the switch is TERRIBLE, and every time I open the rifle case I have to affix the switch to the gun again.

Is there an adhesive I can use to mount the switch that is both removable AND won't damage the polymer stock?

Thanks for any help

RTV? make sure you clean the switch and frame with rubbing alcohol first.

3M double sided tape. It's gray with a red cover.

Same stuff they use to attach parts on cars. Use it with Velcro if you want it to come on and off. The 3M won't come off.
