    Jun 12, 2012 - Velcro help #1

    I need some advice on velcro for my Stormtrooper armour. The stuff I have just seems to peel away, it's not adhesive enough.

    Can anyone advise ( pref with a link ) to some industrial strength Velcro that will do the job better?

    hi mate,

    glue the velcro to your armour.

    you also leave it to cure for 24 hours.

    if you buy stick on velcro and use hot glue with it iv found that a day or two later it will peel i have no idea why it does this. i think stitch on velcro hot glued on will be your best bet. although hot glue dosnt adhear well to overly smooth surfaces

    If your using the Velcro that came with a Kit you can bet its not going to be good quality, have a look for Industrial Velcro with industrial strength adhesive

    You can get industrial strength velcro from B&Q. You need to sand the armour to give it some purchase.
