Why thickness matters
More than a thin adhesive film.
Sticky Pad Shop pads are made for projects that need a visible stand-off, cushioning, gap filling, or separation between lightweight parts—not just two surfaces stuck tightly together.

Before you order
Common questions, answered.
Adhesive performance is application-specific. These answers help you narrow the choice, but testing remains important.
What surfaces work best?
Clean, dry, smooth, compatible surfaces generally provide the best contact. Painted walls, textured finishes, rubber, soft vinyl, silicone-treated trim, and low-surface-energy plastics require extra caution and testing. See the surface compatibility guide.
How strong are the pads?
There is no single safe load rating for every application. Performance changes with the two surface materials, finish, pad area, direction of load, temperature, moisture, vibration, preparation, and installation. Do not use the pads as structural fasteners or safety equipment.
How do I choose a standard size?
Choose a footprint that fits completely inside the mounting area without interfering with openings or edges. A larger footprint provides more adhesive contact, but the surfaces and load still determine suitability.
Can you cut a size that is not listed?
Yes. Custom rectangles and squares are available from 1/2 inch up to 24 inches square, subject to review. Send the finished width, length, quantity, surface materials, and a short description of the application.
