Dude, where did you find the 3M sticky stuff from? I've never been able to locate it here in SL, had to get it down through ebay.

The one you got down from ebay- was it wide enough to fit the badge? You got a pic of it?

Davy, do you think this tape would work.... since it's white i thought of getting this... plus apart from the letters, I have a long "Refina" badge too to paste... therefore since they offer 10 pieces in this, I thought this would be ideal to cover the long refina badge with this... do you think, this will stick well into the badge ?

I'd rather get the acrylic type one because that's what comes with all original badges. Even though the tape that you have shared the link to is white, it will get discoloured with time as dirt and grime gets gathered in there.

The related items in that side showed this:

This one is thinner than the white one as well, so the badges will look like they're pasted directly on the body.

I have this similar kind of tape with me which I used to paste my old car badge... the problem I have in this is, the refina badge comes with a lot of curves and bends, so I will have to chop this tape into many pieces to paste it on the refina badge unlike the letter badge.. why I chose that thicker one was because I can straight away paste the badge onto the tape which will cover the entire badge and then I can cut the extra parts off with a blade, which will make things easier.. but yeah you got a point, with the dirt thingie...

Davy dont you think that, thinner the tape is, the more it will be prone to fall off due to lacking of strength ?
