Yes, it's double sided tape. The stuff in narrow, only the width of a feather base......I run the tape down the feather and use scissors to cut off the roll end. Then put the feather in the clamp same as you would any other time, peel the backing off, and with one fluid movement install the clamp on the jig sticking it fast. Then run your fingernail or something down the edge of the feather base and that's really all there is to it. They're stuck but good then.
