What kind of adhesive should be used to adhere new valcro to sanding pads with worn valcro.
I have tried contact cement with no success. Buying new valcro backing pads at $3.95 each can get expensive in a hurry. I have the valcro in sheets, but can't get it to stay fastened to the holder.
Actually, I've had really good success with the contact cement. It soaks in pretty quickly so I apply several coats, not just the one that would normally be used.
I have been using 3M spray adhesive and have had good luck with it. Thought I might check it out further and sent an email to 3M and got the following info:
"Dear Leif, Thank you for your interest in 3M products. You can use spray 90 or spray 80. I will call you with more information. To buy 3M product you can call R S Hughes at Toll free 1-877-774-8443. If you provide me with area code then I can give you other 3M distributors near you.

===>Talk about customer service. 3M support called me unbidden and we talked over the situation. He advised that 3M Super 77 would be his recommendation. 77 will hold up to 120 degrees F. Super 80 or 90 makes for a more "permanent" hold up to 160 degrees F. As to cleaning up the surface after use, he recommended two Adhesive Removers, one of that name and the other is Citrus based. Both are water based, with the citrus based leaving less residue. Hope this helps.
