If your wife sews, ask her to look in the notions section. my wife got me some 2" and I used 1/2 of it. It came with sticky back or cloth to be sewed you could use hot melt or glue that you like.

I buy rolls of "industrial velcro" at Home Depot (or Lowes) in 2" wide strips. While they are self-adhesive, I find that they don't stick very long. I simply remove the adhesive with "Goof-Off" (available at any auto parts store) nad glue them to the pad with 3M Emblem Adhesive (also available at auto supply stores). Sticks like a weld.

Bill Use a 2" strip down the center. Regular 2" velcro from the fabric store is fine and can be held on with hot glue or silicone.

Do you put the new velcro right over the old or should you cut the old velcro off first? I tried cutting it off once and it just wasn't even enough to reuse.

Read Darrell's page. I make up my own pads out of a Walmart sleeping pad and 2" velcro. I use them for Wave sanding discs. They are the perfect stiffness, between the hard white wave pad and the ultra soft grey. Hot glue works great.

3M also makes a CA glue specifically for rubber and plastics. I found this works much better than the standard CA because it's flexible. Good luck.
