veclro keeps coming off pedals

[tany]

sian man! super sian! i pasted the velcro nicely on my pedals, and i left my pedaltrain case standing upright against the wall. today i opened it, and more than half of the pedals, newly velcroed, shifted positions with the velcro all over the place.

anyway to solve tihs issue so that the velcro sticks permanently? i'm using the rather strong velcro PT provided.

that's weird. mine have stuck on pretty well. No signs of coming off yet.

Were your pedal surfaces v dirty when u applied the velcro? Did you remove the rubber legs as well?

 

[tany]

they werent dirty and i removed the rubber feet.

they dont stick well on the metal surfaces, like the AC booster and the tonebone classic. maybe takes time to stick hehe.

My RC booster seems to stick fine...I'll let u know otherwise when I get home. =)

Hope you get it fixed. If you want to you can try using smaller pieces of velcro to cover the necessary areas instead of a full patch of velcro, if you've not already done so.

haha hopefully they stick alright

clean or just roughen surface with scotch brite

use the industrial velcro ya !!

+1 to industrial strength velcro man

A bit pricey but worth every bit of it

wah. u buying spree..

ok. you must let it stick for awhile first. i do that and they are always fine.

IMHO You MUST use industrial strength velcro.

Buy once, lasts almost forever.

You will never have to ever worry about the pedals shifting position after you put this on. You would only have to place a few small strips on the bottom of the pedals.

Costs about 17 bucks for a box, enough for a few pedalboards.

if i was thinking abt taking of the industrial tape off the pedal, is it possible? or definitely some sticky portion will remain?

 

[SoulJah]

If there's residue you can always use lighter fluid to clean it off, no issue.

industrial velcro is the way to go!!!

 

[markedymark]

definitely industrial strength.

but do remember to let the adhesive set for like about a day before trying anything funny. it'll be a sad waste of awesome velcro.

 

[tany]

how to let them set in? dont put them upside down/sideways up?

Hmm.

My experience in application of velcro is to press down hard after sticking it on, so that the glue sticks to the pedal properly. Also I buy my velcro either from Saga city or artfriend, both at Bras basah complex.
