9245 Structural Bonding Tape
eliminates need to drill holes in the mirror, which can be a high cause of waste
as well as very expensive.
Improved appearance: Provides an invisible bond, leaving a smooth,
unobstructed mirror surface.
Helps increase product performance: Holes in glass are high stress points,
often causing future cracks.  Structural bonding tape helps eliminate the need
for drilling the glass surface and provides better stress distribution.
Helps reduce cost: Virtually eliminates mechanical fasteners formerly used
in these applications.
