Making dowel pocket...

[DIGIXTRA]

Hello members..
When making the dowel pocket for a banner I used to send it out for sewing. This is a proper way to do it. However because of the timing issue I have to do it in our shop with double sided Sakura white tape which is a big mistake. It failed. I could use the HH-66 glue but it is too messy and it melted the ink on the other side of the banner. Did you have a trick or know of any kind of tape that can hold the pocket?
Thanks

Ps: I've searched entire site but found no similiar posts.

if your ruining both sides with HH66, you are guilty of two things.
1. way too much glue.
2. using the skinniest, lightest banner material

When i do double sided, i use 20oz scrim and leave a naked space for WHERE the glue goes. i also mask the area to keep the glue from infecting the ink area.
doe sthis take longer? absolutely. does it hold better than tape? yup.
BONUS.
i use this same procedure with banner mesh as well.

@Gnatt66: I will try VHB tape as your suggestion. Thanks

I use VHB AND put a grommet in each end, makes me sleep better.
