Abstract
Metal building framing components are joined with double-sided adhesive tape positioned between the first connection surface of a first metal framing component and a second connection surface of a second metal framing component. The connection surfaces may be a wall surface or the surface of a tab projecting from the end of a wall. The double-sided adhesive tape is formed of a closed-cell acrylic foam carrier having pressure sensitive adhesive on both sides.
