john_the_bass Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 i stuck some sticky backed 4" velcro onto the hexboard in my pedalboard and it was alright for a while, but now it's come unstuck. Any suggestions as to how i should restick it or what I should replace it with? I was thinking I would just get some contact adhesive and restick the existing stuff, wait for it to dry and then put the pedals back on.

Paul Cooke Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 evostick, scotchgrip, bostik... any reputable contact adhesive... just make sure you apply it thinly to one side and allow it to touch-dry before putting the other bit back in place...

But just the mention of the staples is like having all the light bulbs turned on at once! Thanks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_the_bass Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 i went out to get some earlier and some tins of spray contact adhesive for a mate to stick his studio carpets down - so i didn't bother buying my stuff and just used that instead. Sprayed it to both the hexboard and the velcro and put it back in place - seems to have done the job nicely! Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
