Ok, I admit it, I have tried it. The thick heavy 3M stuff they sell at the office supply store sucks. However, the white foam stuff they sell for
2/99¢ at the 99¢ Store rocks. I actually used it the first time in a 99¢ store. I needed to mount a motion sensor on a steel pole just below the ceiling tile. After breaking three drill bits I bought a roll of their sticky foam tape and slapped it on there. That was five years ago, and its still there.
I also like it for temp mounting some devices in tight spaces to hold it in place until I can shoot a screw in it. I have yet to mount a panel with it though. LOL.
