SethB6025 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Glue the front, and clam shell the back. You could try industrial velcro in place of the regular stuff. The adhesive is much better on the industrial velcro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 In fact, replacing all your kit supplied velcro with industrial velcro is a good idea. A bit of an investment for sure, but I've found it works much better and lasts much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD1043 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I also add a little bit of Krazy Glue to the glue portion of the velcro, and then I slap that on the plastic armor. The stuff does NOT come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakengine Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've had very good luck with the industrial velcro too. You want to sand the area where it's applied before sticking it down, and the use of CA glue (crazy glue, super glue, etc.) is a good suggestion too. If you cut the industrial velcro with scissors, you'll need to clean the adhesive off the scissors periodically using WD40. It's tenacious, but it will come off. Good luck!
