foam tape

Sticky padded strip

Foam tape is adhesive tape with a foam core, used for mounting, sealing, or cushioning.

The foam layer—typically polyethylene or polyurethane—allows the tape to conform to uneven surfaces and absorb shock.

Double-sided foam tape bonds objects to walls without screws or nails: I hung the mirror with foam tape.

Weather-stripping foam tape seals gaps around doors and windows.
