which product is better? Scotch 411-MEDIUM Outdoor Mounting Tape or the 6011 tape, and whats the difference

Not sure what you meant by 6011 tape. Is that a typo ? The Scotch 411 tape is very durable, and carries a "5lb" rating for indoor or outdoor use. There are also "10lb", and "20lb" versions for more extreme mounting. I have used the outdoor 5lb for mounting for aluminum decals that I made, and applied to a Window. The 5lb tape can withstand 115 degree weather in the Arizona desert for years, and never dries out or gets brittle. I also used the 5lb tape for mounting my Google Nexus tablet mount on my golf cart as well as repairing my cell phone clip. I trust this tape with my valuables, and more. I did purchase the 20lb, but have not used it. I am saving this for a project where I have no intention of EVER removing what I have mounted. It's the most extreme tape, and was suggested to be used where one might use screws, rivets or weld. Quite the amazing products.

This seems to be common size tape roll that is available from Home Depot. It is NOT the smaller rolls that you use with the 'scotch tape' dispensers. The tape from Home Depot is not that expensive but you want to find the larger capacity roll for the best value/ use

The width of the tape doesn't matter as the point of the tape is to cover the spoke heads and this provides plenty of coverage of that. The thickness of the tape is plenty thick to avoid a puncture. One roll is enough to cover one rim plus little extra leftover. I use this on all my bikes--time trial, touring, urban commuter, etc. THis would be fine for your mountain bike rim.

I used Scotch 3M exterior mounting tape to mount it on my golf cart. The tape is grey with a red backing, and has a 5 pound rating. If you clean the surface well before mounting, it will never fall off or weaken. Even in extreme heat or cold.

This is just standard double-sided mounting tape, usually made by Scotch or 3M. You should be able to pick some up at Wal-mart or Target, any sort of big box store should carry it. http://www.staples.com/Scotch-Permanent-Heavy-Duty-Mounting-Tape-1-2-inch-x-21-yds/product_130450?cid=PS:GooglePLAs:130450&KPID=130450

I'm using the 3M, but I'm sure the role of another brand of the same size will do. The inside cardboard circle must be exactly the same size, as that is what keeps the tape on the gadget.

I used the double sided tape. But also placed gorilla super glue on both sides of the tape. I have had it outside lighting the address since the day I got it. I hope this helps.

I see that others have already responded. Called 3M - they told me to also prep the surface with their special surface coating. So, I used with the special 3M surface prep on the surface - then the 3M tape - to hold a large sunroof wind deflector. Still holding.

Unfortunately I can't say I've used Rescue Tape but have used a few other brands of silicone tape and this is the best IMO. It has strength and great fusion. I use it in most places that electrical tape would be used but love to use it on motorcycle applications since it is waterproof.

The tape that came with it has been on my plants outdoors (on aluminum holders) in sun and rain, hot and snow for over 10 mo. now and look as good the day I set them out. I did not put anything over the tape, just tape onto aluminum stake.

DO NOT use for every day electrical tape use. Despite what anyone or any company suggests. I good roll of electrical tape will cost a couple of bucks and is Rated for its Voltage breakdown, etc. It's also much, much more pliable and removable. If I were broke down on the side of the road; I'd use it for a temporary repair only.

Hello stacer26, Honestly I have not used Gorilla Tape in an outdoor setting where it would be exposed to rain. It is extremely strong tape. Wish I could be of more help. Sincerely, Steve

I believe that the piece of tape is 18'' long by 3'' wide. I have used it to repair outdoor pants and it holds up wash after wash. I like the dark earth, but the green is excellent as well. If you have to remove it there is no sticky residue either. Best tape on the market. It will work on load bearing areas as well.

I use brothers label makers with their adhesive tape. No markers I've used reliably last through rain, and sun.

It is heavier and a different texture. I have used regular tape and it doesn't work as well. I recommend this. Plus, it does not peel off paint once it's being removed. At least not for me.

I used double sided tape but you can use screws. I used some great double sided outdoor tape from 3m (upgraded) that works very well for outdoor use.
