the amount of tape is not as necessary as the prep of where you place it. If you use a heavy duty cleaner/degreaser on both the ballast and piece you are sticking it to, it will hold like super glue (if the piece is glossy, rough it up a little before cleaning). I have had several attached this way for well over a year, and have done multiple track days where the car got put through its paces when it is 95+ degrees out, no signs the tape will not hold.

It is serious stuff, just needs to be prepped correctly for best adhesion. Hope this helps...
