We used both adhesive and duct tape. We did not want any air pockets or bumps behind the liner. I believe the adhesive tells you how many cans you need for the surface you are covering. Adhesive is waterproof the duct tape is not. If for some reason the duct tape got wet it would not be easy to replace.

I just used duct tape and it worked fine all season. Put down two layers on top our concrete patio. Only thing I'll change is to install the pool in our carport out of the sun. BTW, the material "aged" from outdoor exposure in south Louisiana and will need replacing for this season. Enjoy.. O^Ocrm

Adhesive makes it very simple. It sprays on. I did 16x37 with 2 1/2 cans. 2 should do it for you. Can't imagine trying to use duct tape.

I used duct tape for mine. You just have to be careful at the top if the roll overlaps, you will still need enough room for you j-hook liner if that is the one you are using. I have one section that is very tight because the roll overlapped and with the duct tape i barely had enough room for the liner hook.

That depends on what surface you are mounting it to. Seeing that you want to use glue it is probably unnecessary to use the rubber gasket that comes with it. So, you will need an adhesive that is water resistant and will bond to plastic and whatever surface you are mounting to (i.e. tile, painted gypsum board, wall paper, etc)

I used drywall / contractors glue. It worked great. Get the quick dry. I also painted them first. Too messy to spray paint in the house.

I would recommend construction adhesive rather than the silicone adhesive. It will set up faster, be stronger & move durable.

The product comes with a plastic scraper and cover sheet. I found the product unsatisfactory. I use Scotch Photo Mount to bond my photos to a mounting board. I've tried many adhesives and Scotch is the best. The are a number of videos on You Tube. Good luck

It's not adhesives itself. It comes with these thin, clear, double sided adhesive strips that go around the edges. It took me a few strips to figure out the best way to set it up but if you email support they will mail you more of the adhesive strips for free. Hope this helps.

Also, these situations require a lot of ingenuity and customizing. DO NOT USE DUCT TAPE. Buy the special aluminum tape. I was told by two other people that duct tape would fall off due to the heat. I bought the special tape mentioned in one of the reviews. By the time you have crafted a custom vent and installed it in a very tight space (with lots of trial and error, especially getting the vent taped to the outlet and inlet) you will have so much time invested that it is not worth the risk of using duct tape and finding out that everyone else was right!

If I was you, purchase something of a higher quality. I added heavy duty outdoor duct tape, and still have issues now and then. Good luck

I use mounting tape and so far no issues. You have to do it right though. First, get 3M Outdoor Mounting Tape (red). Clean the metal plate and the surface you're sticking it to with rubbing alcohol and wait an hour. The back plate will fit TWO strips of the tape side-by-side if you stretch it a little. Get all the tape you can on there. Press the plate firmly into the wall for thirty seconds to a minute and don't hang anything from it for an hour. If you do all that you SHOULD be OK. Again, I haven't had problems, but... it definitely is a risk.

Shouldn't be too hard. Worst case you can use a blow dryer and heat it up, and that should take the adhesive off easily.

This does not have an adhesive side for directly applying to windows - the most common method is to stretch it over some sort of frame and mount the whole assembly. Thanks!

I haven't done that yet... I was going to use this in a room where I record a weekly radio program, but just learned that the building where our offices are is being sold, so I didn't want to attach them to the wall in any permanent fashion until I know for sure what's happening. I am not sure how I would do it either... I considered staples, but that wouldn't be good long term... maybe some type of spray glue? If you come up with a good solution, please let me know! Thanks.

Yes you need to purchase an adhesive tape.. re placing it is really hard btw

I had that same problem. It comes with double sided adhesive tape which is what I used. It has been holding strong for more than a solid month now.

Yes,I did....go to Home Depot or the like & get some 2 inch wide Industrial Strength Velcro & put a full ength strip top & bottom or even around all 4 sides & do the matching strips on your wall or wherever & you're good to go. Tip; once you apply the strips to the wall & to the Unit let both fully adhere over 24 hours say,before you mount the piece. Technically you don't have to but I find the Velcro sticky side adheres better long term if you don't immediately mount the Unit.Good Luck,CJ

Thanks Steve for the thoughtful replies. The first question was the very item I was worried about and your response was reassuring. I am assuming that the offer for additional glue adhesive applies to anyone who makes the purchase? Because of your responses, I am going to make the purchase. Thanks.
