Let’s get started and make sure your TITAN PATCH PRO Double-Sided Mounting Tape performs at its best.


⚠️ ATTENTION

  • Need help? Don’t hesitate to contact us.
  • Instant bond does not mean instant strength, cure time matters.
  • Surface quality matters: If the surface fails, the tape will fail with it.
  • One-time use: Once removed, adhesive must be replaced.
  • Designed for downward (shear) loads, not pull-away force.
  • Not for use in projects where injury could result if the mounted item falls.


1. Purpose & Product Overview

TITAN PATCH PRO Double-Sided Mounting Tape is designed to secure items without tools, holes, or wall damage, while still providing professional-grade holding power.

Ideal for:

  • Posters, frames, signs,  hangers and wall décor
  • Cable and cord management
  • Home, office, rental, and DIY projects

Key Features

  • Heavy-duty, wall-safe adhesive
  • Instant initial bond
  • Damage-free, residue-free removal when used as directed
  • Easy-peel liner for frustration-free installation
  • Heat & humidity resistant
  • Available in black and white (same performance, aesthetic choice only)


2. Weight Capacity & Load Guidelines

  • Holds up to 5 lb per 2 × 2 inch patch
  • Rating is based on:
    • Clean, smooth, properly prepared surfaces
    • Full adhesive cure
    • Downward (shear) load, not pull-away force

Load Best Practices

  • Heavier items require more tape
  • Always distribute weight evenly
  • Larger items should use multiple attachment points

More surface contact = stronger, safer hold.


3. Surface Compatibility

Recommended Surfaces

  • Metal (aluminum, steel)
  • Glass
  • Plastics
  • Painted surfaces
  • Powder-coated materials
  • Ceramics
  • Concrete
  • Treated Wood

Important Surface Note

  • Extremely rough or highly uneven surfaces may reduce adhesion
  • If the surface layer is unstable, the adhesive cannot compensate

Designed to adhere to smooth, lightly textured, and moderately rough surfaces.

If you are unsure about the surface texture, test a small section with a smaller item first, and place a thick towel underneath in case the item falls down.

If it holds for 72 hours, you can go ahead and try with your desired item. We recommend keeping the towel underneath after placing the desired item, in case the surface is too rough.


4. Stay Safe While Working

  • Make sure the mounting area is clean and well-lit
  • Avoid standing on unstable furniture
  • Wash hands after use if you have sensitive skin
  • Keep tape out of reach of children

5. Tools & Materials Needed

No tools required.

Optional but helpful:

  • Clean cloth or paper towels
  • Isopropyl alcohol (recommended for prep)
  • Scissors (for clean cuts)


6. Step-by-Step Application

Step 1: Clean the Surface

  • Remove dust, grease, oil, or moisture
  • Wipe with isopropyl alcohol if possible
  • Let the surface dry completely

Clean surfaces are critical for strong adhesion.


Step 2: Cut & Position the Tape

  • Cut tape to the required size
  • Avoid touching the adhesive
  • Plan placement before peeling the liner


Step 3: Apply the Tape

  • Press tape firmly onto the surface
  • Smooth from center outward to remove air bubbles
  • Apply strong, even pressure for at least 30 seconds
  • DO NOT peel off the film, until it has cured and you’re ready to place your desired item on the tape. (Follow the same instructions above, when you’re to hang your item on the  tape)


Step 4: Load Timing & Cure Strength (IMPORTANT)

  • Instant bond: Handles light loads immediately
  • 20 minutes: ~50% strength
  • 24 hours: ~90% strength (minimum recommended wait for heavy items)
  • 72 hours: 100% strength (maximum adhesion)

Mounting heavy items too early will reduce performance.


7. Repositioning & Reuse

  • This tape is not repositionable
  • Once applied and removed, adhesion is significantly reduced
  • If repositioning is needed:
    • Use a new piece of tape
    • Do not reuse old adhesive


8. Heat, Humidity & Environment

  • Works in any room
  • Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and humid environments
  • Temperature range:
    • -40°F to 200°F
    • Apply in 50°F to 100°F for optimal bonding.
  • Designed for real-world indoor conditions

NOTE: Can be used outside, but rain and swinging temperatures may reduce adhesive.


9. Removal & Surface Safety

How to Remove Correctly

  1. Peel slowly
  2. Pull at a 45° angle
  3. Do not yank or rush

If Residue Appears (Very Rare)

  • Use a hairdryer on low heat
  • Or wipe gently with isopropyl alcohol

When used as directed, the tape removes cleanly without damage.


10. Storage & Shelf Life

Storage Guidelines

  • Always store tape in the protective sealing bag
  • Seal after each use to block dust and debris
  • Store in a dry room with stable temperature
  • Avoid prolonged heat or direct sunlight

Shelf Life

  • 5+ years when stored properly
  • Exposure to dust significantly reduces shelf life
