What 3M tape to use to stick spoiler

I don't want to use betalink, looking a 3M website there is a bunch of tapes available but don't know wich one I should use for my Vorsteiner PUR rear spoiler, would 5605 do? not sure about thickness too, the ridge on back of spoiler measures between 0.75 to 1.15 mm, the 45mil tape might be too thin is some spots espescially in the upper corners.
What did you guys used?

think twice before using 3m tapes in freezing temp.... While installing the roof spoiler.. we found it ultra easy to remove it.. not sticking...

hmm you should use betalink for the vorsteiner spoilers, they don't look right with 3m tape because you can see the gap...vorsteiner's look hot when there flush with the car just my .02 though...

I also say use the Betalink. That's what it's designed for.

I'd be worried about how the tape would hold up to the temp changes.

never use 3m tape below 68F (mentioned on the instruction). I used 3M molding tape for my lips when it was 60 or so and it can't stick well.

I used the betalink. Very tight fit... And you can remove it later on. I know JMK BMW was able to get it off.

How long does betalink need to set? is it a liquid or a paste?
