Best way to replace velcro pad Baird M. Standish 04 Sep 2008 12:09 EDT

Hello,
I have a couple of metal driving plates on which the velcro that holds the diamond discs in place
have become worn.  In the past have replaced the old velcro by gluing velcro strips over the worn
velcro.  The old velcro is amazingly difficult to get off.  I have tried different glues but the results
are mediocre at best.  As an example, This week I tried spreading titebond polyurethane liquid
glue on the face of the plate, putting down the velcro over the glue and letting it dry.  In this case
the titebond foamed up,made a mess around the edges and created bubbles under the velcro.  I
have tried other glues in the past that do not work that well.  Just pressing the velcro in place
without waves is hard enough.  In any event, am having a tough time getting a smooth strong
waterproof result.  Does anybody have any solutions or ideas?
thanks for your input.
