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. Here is a
link to write up:

One can also get 10oz tubes of Dow 795 for $9/tube at McMaster-Carr (McMaster #
7452A21)
