My suggestion for tapes would be "Kanga" tape. Strong and clean removal without damages. That should be the answer to the question as presented. Just a bit more money.They make some very strong tape. Maybe even tape used on heating and cooling ducting. True duct tape made for temp swings
Insulation thickness seems to be missing from your equation. Or I'm missing something.To hold 6mil?

Kanga is great. I would have laminated it onto the foam boards as well but if they are up they are upMy suggestion for tapes would be "Kanga" tape. Strong and clean removal without damages. That should be the answer to the question as presented. Just a bit more money.
Quality double sided would good for the job, trade/professional (Roberts brand USA made) I've used it for mylar to hard board and it sticks like shit to a blanket lol.I was going to suggest tape, but with the warm temps it may not stick long.

Hello,
Short version:
What solution would hold panda film best against Polyisocyanurate foam board insulation (aluminum facing)???
Long version:
I have finished insulating my groom... plywood walls -> spray foam for air seal -> fiberglass r-15 -> 6mil clear vapor barrier (all staples and seams are taped over) -> Polyisocyanurate foam board (radiant aluminum barrier on front back) -> panda wrap.
I am not looking for a debate of putting drywall, osb, plywood, etc. over the foam board and sticking the panda to that. In this situation without getting into to much detail it simply can't happen. Trust me.
I just simply need to know how I get the Panda film to stick to the insulation board with the radiant barrier aluminum facing and not peel off over time due to whatever (humidity, etc.)
Thank you all!
Tuck tape, it's held panda film to almost anything for me. I haven't used it in this particular application, but it's working to hold it to wood, itself, a stick on zipper for a make shift tent door etc. It's holding even under pretty intense negative pressure.I was going to suggest tape, but with the warm temps it may not stick long.

Well Ideally I would have used a spray adhesive and slowly with pressure applied the film to the board extremely evenly prior to putting them up.@dbz What do you mean laminated?
So each foam board would of had its own panda layer? I am trying to keep the panda film as intact and "draped" as possible.Well Ideally I would have used a spray adhesive and slowly with pressure applied the film to the board extremely evenly prior to putting them up.
I actually have a 60 inch roll press laminator I would have fed them through but most dont have this and you could adhere and press it on each full sheet manually, while you had them on a table to work on. Would make it real even, clean and neat

How thick is the foam board?Hello,

I'm not familiar with gorilla, but I'd expect gorilla or the likes to be equally good.@MICHI-CAN you are saying glue mix sticks onto the board and than attach the panda to that?
@dbz This would be wood ferring strips? Also, is "two sided carpet tape" better than two sided gorilla or T-rex tape?
Hmmmm, I like the idea of a good tape to get the job done but am concerned with stickiness overtime.
I guess long ass screws with washer could do it but than putting more holes in the insulation, panda film etc.
Long ass staples could also do it but again not exactly "gentle".
Maybe a velcro strip?
From what I have read Tuck tape is only in Canada... not sure what is the US equivalentBlue tuck tape.
If you are draping, will you have negative pressure? Be aware it will probably suck inward if it isn't pulled super tight.
That shit will take the wall with it if OP ever tries to pull it off lolzZip system flashing tape ^^^^^^^^^ He got it
