Updated Oct 20, 2026. Edited by: Ilyass Ben Hakim.

Where to buy

XFasten sells through its own site and large online marketplaces. Woodworking suppliers also list its double-sided tape. Bulk and wholesale orders go through a form on the brand site.

Professional insight

Shop woodworkers judge double-sided tape by hold versus clean release. They test each new roll on scrap first.

Cloth core tape grips harder than paper core.
Carpet tape is too aggressive for veneer.
Thinner tape keeps router templates more accurate.
Rolls from different batches can feel different.
