One of my teammates used to work for 3M. He said Super 77 adhesive, although popular, isn’t the right adhesive. He said, “Alright, as a former 3M Certified Specialist in their industrial products division, I felt I should weigh in. ? Super 77 is a bit too strong and permanent for fabrics like this. I would recommend 3M spray 45 or some of the repositionable adhesives that you can roll on with a dispenser, then lift off / remove with the number after the race. Call 3M’s 800 # too – they might even send you free samples.” I’m sure 3M might even be able to offer guidance on an appropriate adhesive for more dimpled material like Castelli’s aero skin suit.
