Need to mount 1/4" sheetrock in 4'x8' panels which weigh 28.8lbs ea to an adjoining firewall in townhouse. Should the tape hold w/o concerns?

That depends on how much tape you apply and where you apply it. You need to contact 3M to find out what the tensile pull strength is to determine the area of application. Why would you not use construction adhesive? I have to believe it would be much more cost effective.

It should easily support that weight given it requires 4 sq inches of tape for each pound of weight. I would buy the tape in a larger volume/quantity to reduce cost.

Yes, use double sided tape on the bottom side of the attachable legs. Use the gorrilla tape type it can handle the weight. Or any tape that can handle > 7lbs of torque

I would say yes. Just confirm your TV weight versus the rated hold weight (100+ lbs, I believe?). I would recommend you use the wood screws provided drilled into wall studs, instead of drywall anchors. Once I had the mounting plate installed, I hung from it by my hands (I'm 175lbs) and it was solid.

I have two of these brackets holding up a 16" x 42" x10" solid pine wood desk that weights approximately 65 lbs, on the desk is approximately 15 to 20 hard bound Novels and Text books another 30 lbs and a heavy duty solid brass table lamp 10lbs. I used wall anchors (4) that promised to hold 75lbs each to secure the brackets to the wall (sheet rock not studs). The brackets themselves could hold much much more bit I was concerned about the anchors pulling out so I limited the amount of weight to avoid any problems. ( I sit at this desk to use my lap top and pay bills.) Installed correctly these brackets will hold probably between 75-100lbs of weight or more without failing.

as long as you make sure that it's on the studs it will hold otherwise sheetrock is not strong enough to hold heavy load

I use 3M command strips. The best option for you may be the velcro type for hanging pictures on walls. This way you can just use the included mount... I picture everyone else now going "ahhhh good idea" :-) smiles

I ended up returning these mounts because without reinforcing with wood before attaching to wall I was told not safe enough to hold the weight . I'm sure it depends if you are going into a stud could be different.

Great idea! They don't weigh very much... I just used a hook that twisted into the drywall... I think it said it was good for hanging things up to 10lbs so there was no issue whatsoever.

I would not try to hang it on anything narrower than 1 1/2" (2X4, 2X6 etc.) Some modular homes use smaller studs, and I don't think I would trust them to hold the weight.You will want to find the centre of the stud - I use a small nail & pound it through the drywall to find each edge of the stud. Then drill a pilot hole right in the center or close to it. I think I used 5/16 lag bolts, into a 3/16 hole. I would use 2" long lag bolts, and drill the hole about 1 1/2" - 1 3/4" deep so the point can grab into wood too. If you don't driill a pilot hole you are likely to split the stud with one or more of the lag bolts. But of course don't drill it tooo large either or it may not hold. Good luck.

You can feel a steel stud in a 5/8" sheetrock wall but it will not stick to it. Limited to about 1/4-1/2" of depth.

Not very securely. We have been using it for 3'x4' foam board posters, and I do wish I'd bought something a little heftier...they're alimium, and with that much surface area someone walking briskly past the board can blow it over...al least on a tabletop as we have been using.

You should be able to mount with doublesided tape, but I cannot say how much weight it would be able to hold. I mounted mine in our camper, but screwed into studs where possible, and used plastic anchors where there were not studs available.

The mount will hold, no problem. Have to make sure attachment in the wall is very secure.

I used it on the wall but a radiant barrier properties is it reflective capabilities it has no insulation factor so I would think an overlap would suffice as small as a quater inch. I would only staple it or tape together if I expected some kind of disturbance.

A glass panel would not be strong enough to support this stand in my opinion. The clamp is really beefy and requires a minimum thickness (not at home to measure it). I would not recommend using this on anything less than and inch thick. You could add wood blocks to build up the area around the clamp but I'm not sure that a glass panel would be able to withstand that amount of torq (weight will not be coming straight down).

My house has a sheetrock textured wall and the tape works very well on it. Infact, I needed it for only one hook and I havent used the tape again since then. It attaches so well !!!

Haven't had experience with this mounting but I would think if anything, to use double sided tape to mount due to size and weight of it.
