The real key is how you prep the surface. Lots of alcohol, or acetone, once you pull the tape, let it cure for a minute before you stick it on, make sure you’re using enough…So if you were going to try and attach something that was the size of a baseball/ credit card, it would be tape around the whole edge and 2-3 long strips down the middle…Any areas that are slightly still away from the surface, would require a few pieces of tape stacked on each other.

Sounds in line with how I reattached the steel underframe of that glass cooktop (which is still going strong three years later!).
What are you thoughts on whether or not this tape could potentially hold side skirts on along the sides to avoid screwing into the rockers?
I have a Sherwin Williams surface prep product (forget the name of it, but a body shop guy told me about it and called it "Pre-Clean-O" or something similar) that I use to clean vehicles paint surfaces ahead of things like pinstriping, adhering moldings, etc. You just can't let the stuff dry on the clear or it will cloud it. So, you have to Mr Miyagi it (Wipe on, Wipe off).
