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. Baird Standish Facility Specialists Decorative Floor Restoration -- Baird M.
