The blocks (paver and two cinder blocks) have been painted with house paint. The blocks were dry when I put them together but have stuck themselves together quite well anyway (kind of defeating my initial purpose of wanting to keep the system able to relocate if needed. At least if I want to not rip up the paint job.) I'm sure the tape would stick to the blocks without any problem. Yep, since they've been painted already, you're good to go with the tape. After mounting it, I'd wait about 24 hours before running, but that's me. Most instructions that I've seen about using double sided tape (such as this) mentions that the adhesive bond is best after about 24 hours. When I use that stuff, I try to leave it undisturbed for that time period. If your painted blocks (that stuck together) ever become loose, a general purpose construction adhesive will be sufficient to re-glue. I used it to glue my stacked blocks together, and they aren't going anywhere.

A loose engine mount in a car can transmit severe forces and vibrations to the engine itself. Engines generate similar vibrations to a vibratory tumbler. They function best if tightly bolted down tight to the frame of the car. There is a good chance if the Lot-O is not mounted firmly to the concrete foundation that the silicone bond came loose from increased vibrational forces.
