How strong is the adhesive backing (on plastic), and how weatherproof/heat resistant is this? Any idea how long this might last outdoors?

My daughter is the mascot for her school. I used this on plexiglass as part of a prop. We used the full size & only had to trim millimeters off the edges with a blade. It handled very well. The prop has been tossed around by teenagers in all kinds of elements and has held up beautifully. I'm not sure about how it would hold up outdoors long-term. I can say I tried many other products & was most pleased with this product. It was easy to apply, had a smoother finish than any other (no bubbles), & has a true mirror finish you can see yourself in. Hope that helps!

I have had mine mounted outdoors for about 6 months and I agree with Blue Canary except I didn't even use the caulk and tape and it's fine. I think it depends in part on how much rain/fog/etc you get. I'm in the Los Angeles area.I would also add that if you have a lot of people walking by your mounted location, you'll want to mount it such that they don't accidentally end up staring at it. IR is invisible but can still do damage to your eyes if you stare at it.

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.

I was concerned about the temperature also & also whether the adhesive would hold up when I went over bumps in the road, especially with a larger phone. I've had no problems whatsoever. In fact, I was involved in a collision, and then my car was towed & in a body shop in the heat for 7 weeks, and the phone holder is still in place! I consider it well worth the price!

It is reasonably weather-proof. I kept it outside for 10 months, though there isn't much rain here. I lubricated the edges where the "screen" meets the plastic trim with a grease (just any grease that you have laying around). Don't smear the whole screen, just cover the seam. Make sure your put the panel on a few degrees slope so water won't be pooling on it.

I taped the undercutting on my trailer that had separated from the siding in a 25 foot section. It was about 40 degrees outside and it is still holding through rain, ice, snow at temperatures down to 10. It has been 5 months and still holding. I also taped it on my dumpster which gets thrown down weekly by trash collectors and that is still holding as well. I would reorder if needed and do recommend it.

I use it outdoor it is polyester no paper so water proof , make sure the surface is clean and flat , glass work best however I use on plastic , painted metal and wood as well, clean the surface with little alcohol to remove stain and fat and it should hold on as well , my location is in shadow so not sure how long the text will last in full sun

Can't really say how long the label will last under constant sun exposure. I'm sure the adhesive will fail over time so I would use clear shipping tape to give it an extra layer of protection. Hope that helps and my apologies for the delay :)

I forget if it came with tape but as my installation was out of the elements (weather) I used electrical tape and it's holding up well in hot and cold weather two years after installation.Duane

That's a rather generic question. I'll make a couple of assumptions. 1) You mean house siding and therefore outside 2) You mean vinyl or painted siding. That being said, it will stick to either, however, this is not outdoor adhesive and is more affected by temperature and water so it won't stick for too long. If you're looking for something longer term, I'd suggest looking at their outdoor products.

Outside adhesive. It works great. Simply clean surface with alcohol/lens wipe and you are good to go. No issues at all

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

It withstands moisture very well, heat, not so much. I used this for angel wings for a Christmas play, easy to work with, and stood up to the paste, very well, but outside, I'm pretty sure wouldn't work for an outside applications.

I would recommend weather sealing it first. It should hold up fine. But I'm in the hot desert. So I would find some clearciat spray and spray it. It should do just fine then. It is great quality

Greetings! I use it on my motorcycle so i put it closer to my engine so i could get a better idea how hot it is getting. Not sure what your using it on but the lead for the outside senor should be long enough to thread it through the firewall on a car to mount it outside. I attached mine with double sided tape and it has stayed put nicely. I'm very happy with mine. No problems for 4 years.
