Gomagom Double-Sided Tape 57 19mm x 2.5m | 3D Modeling

The GomaGom 57 Double-Sided Tape is a 19 mm × 2.5 m roll of extra-strong, transparent adhesive designed for 3D printing workshop and scale modelling tasks that need a secure hold without committing to superglue or epoxy. It solves the classic "I need this to stay put while I work" situations: holding miniatures and printed parts on a painting handle, tacking pieces to a base while the permanent adhesive cures, fixing elements on a diorama, mounting 3D printing workshop accessories, or temporarily securing 3D printed parts to the workbench for sanding or painting.

Typical uses in 3D printing and the workshop

This is one of those consumables that, once it makes it into the 3D printing workshop, never leaves. Common scenarios include:

Securing printed parts to work surfaces. Perfect for post-processing (sanding, painting, assembly) when you need the part to stay still without reaching for a clamp that could damage fine print detail. Bonds well to parts printed in PLA, cured UV resin, PETG, and ABS.

DIY painting handles for printed miniatures. A wine cork with a strip of double-sided tape on top instantly becomes a handle for painting resin-printed miniatures without touching them with your fingers. The bond holds through long painting sessions, and the mini peels off cleanly when you're done.

3D printing workshop organisation. Pin parameter guides, exposure time cheat sheets, calibration charts, or visual references next to your printer without drilling into the wall. Works on glass, plastic, metal, and wood surfaces.

Temporary mounting of printer accessories and mods. DIY modifications — cable clips, tool holders, airflow deflectors — that you want to test before committing with screws or adhesive.

Typical uses in scale modelling and miniatures

The 19 mm width is comfortable for almost everything a modeller needs: it cuts easily with scissors or a hobby knife into whatever size you need, and the 2.5 m length is enough for dozens of applications before you need to replace the roll.

Temporary positioning on bases and dioramas. Test compositions before gluing permanently. Move printed figures, terrain pieces, and scene elements until the layout feels right — then switch to PVA, modelling glue, or cyanoacrylate.

Holding parts while adhesive cures. When a join won't hold itself together and needs pressure or support during curing, a strip of tape as a brace saves you from having to hold the piece by hand for several minutes.

Wargaming and board games. Secure modular terrain to the table, temporarily adjust board elements, or build custom packaging to safely transport painted miniatures.

Features and limitations

Extra-strong hold with a transparent finish, making it virtually invisible when applied in small amounts. Compatible with the four most common surfaces in 3D printing workshops and scale modelling: wood, metal, plastic, and glass. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

One important thing to know before you buy: it is not waterproof. For printed parts that will be exposed to permanent moisture, running water, or very humid environments, a different fastening solution is recommended. For normal workshop use, indoor dioramas, and scale modelling, this is not an issue.

Why buy it from Mr Resin

This is one of those small consumables that ends up being useful every single day in the 3D printing workshop — and it's more hassle to make a separate trip to the hardware store than to simply add it to the resin or filament order you're already placing. Orders over €79 ship free to mainland Spain.

Mr Resin has been serving more than 5,000 makers across Spain, Portugal, and France for years. Our catalogue is built around what the community asks for: 3D printers and materials at its core, plus all the workshop consumables that become part of the daily routine for makers and modellers alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work for holding 3D printed miniatures on homemade painting handles?
Yes, this is one of the most common uses in the miniature painting and 3D printing hobby. A small piece applied to the top of a cork or wooden dowel is all you need to secure a printed miniature during a painting session. The adhesion holds through long handling times, and the figure peels off cleanly when you're done — leaving no residue when applied to a non-porous surface.

Can it hold the weight of resin or PLA printed parts?
It depends on the size and contact surface area. For miniatures, small accessories and diorama elements — the typical use case in scale modelling and recreational 3D printing — it provides more than enough holding power. For larger or heavier parts, increasing the tape surface area helps, though mechanical fastening or permanent adhesive is a better choice. We wouldn't recommend it for parts that need to bear structural loads.

Can it be applied to painted printed parts without damaging the finish when removed?
In most cases yes, but the result depends heavily on the type of paint, primer used and how long the tape has been in place. As a general precaution, we recommend testing on a hidden area of the part first. Peeling slowly and parallel to the surface minimizes the risk of lifting paint.

Is this the same as the thin double-sided tape from the supermarket?
No. General-purpose thin tapes — the kind typically used for sticking paper to walls — have very low tack and won't hold even moderately weighted parts. The 57 is rated by the manufacturer as "extra strong" and is specifically designed for applications that require a firmer grip, making it well suited for scale modelling and 3D printing workshop use.

Can it be used outdoors and does it hold up in rain?
The manufacturer rates it for both indoor and outdoor use, but it is not water resistant. Outdoors it performs fine in dry conditions or with occasional moisture, but we don't recommend it for printed parts exposed to direct rain, prolonged wet conditions or very humid environments. For those situations, a purpose-made waterproof adhesive is a better option.
