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.
I use the adhesive backed velcro you can get in strips from any sewing center. It makes for quick and easy repair.
3M adhesive. It's also good for matting pictures, cutting multiple pieces when you forgot to buy doublestick tape.
I use hot glue from a glue gun. It works great.

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've used CA glue. In fact I could not get mine to stick with 3M because I did a bad job of cutting off the old velcro.
The problem I have not solved is how to remove the self adhesive part. I tried several th> Am I the only person using Superglue (CA)?
===>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.
