Keeping LEDs stuck in fixture

I'm replacing all the incandescent bulbs with smd led panels in the fixture. The 2 sided tape on the led panels doesn't seem to want to stay stuck. I've heard this is a common problem. What have you come up with to keep the LEDs tuck in the fixture?

3m tape.. in 5,10,15 pound... if you use the 15 pound tape.. and wish to remove.. get a long screwdriver to PRY it off.

glue stick .. also works well.

X4 on 3M tape. Just used it on applying cork board to a wall and it's great stuff

I used a hot glue gun -- Lot less expensive than 3M tape -- Bill Willard

All of mine have been up for a couple of years now. What I did was clean the surface of the fixture real good with rubbing alcohol and a clean paper towel a couple of times & let dry a couple of minutes b4 applying.

The two sided tape that comes with the leds is useless. Buy a roll of good 2 sided tape and re-do the led panels.
