  I’ve always only used normal double sided tape from Kmart or whatever

  Idk if that’s the recommended method or not though

    The laptop runs pretty hot so looking at thermal tape. (I also have normal double-sided tape, but I think it’s dead, LOL).

      @Llabyrinthine
      The cellophane-like clear tape is called kapton, if that is what you are looking for..?

        Thanks, but I don’t think it’s Kapton.

        I’ve had to peel some flat cables off as I’m replacing the palm rest and peeling them off has left some very light tacky residue that obviously kept them in place. I need to secure them inside the new palm rest/casing.

  ESD safe tape maybe?

    Thanks! Maybe?

    I really was hoping to find an equiv in Bunnings since everywhere else is shut today. Worse case I’ll have to get it tomorrow, but I’d love to finish it today.
