Hi, A great source for VHB tape and Dow 795 is McMaster-Carr. You can purchase VHB tape in rolls of length 5, 15 and 36 yds at great prices.
Rather than VHB #4991, I suggest using VHB #5952 which is designed for adhering to hard-to-bond surfaces, such as nylon, rigid vinyl, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS, and powder-coated surfaces. VHB #4991 is recommended for stainless steel, aluminum, glass, and sealed wood surface, but does not list any plastics. I used VHB #5952 on my fixed ports, and it has worked out great.
