Product Information


Vacuum clamping is the easiest to way to hold an object for benchtop routing and sanding. Vacuum clamps powered by a venturi or electric pump can generate up to 1700 lbs per square foot of clamping pressure without marring the work piece. This extra-thick vacuum gasket tape is what makes the air tight seal between a vacuum jig and the work piece.

This high density on-board gasketing tape is sold in 39 ft rolls. The tape is coated on one side with an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive. The foam's 1/4" thickness assures conformability to a wide range of project surfaces and its 3/8" width allows a tighter radius for small parts on a benchtop vacuum clamping jig.

What Is it Used For?
This tape is typically used for basic benchtop vacuum clamping jobs of projects with a somewhat irregular surface. It is also used to make a custom-built vacuum frame press. With this type of use, this tape is used to seal the frame to a non-porous workbench surface.

Features

  • Closed cell foam gives this tape greater abrasion resistance.
  • The self-stick adhesive system allows the gasketing to be easily applied to virtually any smooth vacuum jig surface.
  • Extra thickness helps to create a quick and positive seal on shop-made vacuum frame presses.
  • This tape offers the lowest compression set of any tape available. It has excellent "memory". In other words, it will return to its original size after each clamping operation.

    I have used this 3/8 x 1/4 vacuum gasket tape for a couple dozen projects to date. I built a 3'x5' vacuum frame press based on Joe's design (I went with 3/4" melamine for the base layer) and used this tape direct to VS Polyurethane material, in two rows. No leaks, and just as good as new now. Don't forget the 0.061" breather mesh for both sides of your work piece, especially for flat projects.
