Joining Rack with Excess 3M Double Sided Tape

Hi,
Did anyone tried joining racks with 3M double sided tape instead of welding? I am thinking that there will definately be lots of excess tape, maybe can use them productively.

Cheers

I think the compliance of the tape would be a problem keeping the rack properly registered from piece to piece. When you apply force to the racks the tape would move slightly. I would weld as per the plans and use the tape only to mount the racks.

I gave some to my wife and told her it was chewing gum. Alas, her jaw muscles are so over developed from billions of hours of talking that the tape just wasn't strong enough to hold her mouth shut.
