thedontcarebear Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 My pedals all fell off my board when I moved it, it's a flightcased board from spider engineering, so basically uses velcro to attach it all to a bit of wood inside the flightcase, anyone got any ideas on how to sort this? The velcro won't stick properly to either the board or the pedals, supposed to be jamming tomorrow with a band using my board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Which has lost its stick? The velcro to velcro, or the gluey back? Degrease pedals with meths or something before you stick velcro tape on them, sticks loads better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Also might be worth lining the lid with some foam so that when it's closed they're held in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 The velcro is what is coming off, the tape seems to stick to the board/pedal in the main. The case is already lined with foam etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 sounds like you need stronger velcro! What are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 No, the velcro sticks to the velcro, the tape sticks to the pedals, the tape does not stick to the velcro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deksawyer Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 The velcro supplied with the Spider cases is sh*te as I have just found out tonight. Trying to build up my new board and the bloody things keep falling off. Same problem as you. I think the wife has some proper VELCRO velcro so I'll try that first before splashing out on that expensive Pedalboard Tape. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Just bought the same case this weekend and I have the same problem, also do you find if you keep the pedalboard in the case the lip is high at the front and you accidently kick it, I want to remove them rubber feet on the bottom if possible.

BottomEndian Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) [url="http://www.velcro-solutions.co.uk/index.php?id=218&L=0"]Heavy Duty Velcro[/url]. This stuff is awesome. It looks like a severe-tyre-damage thing when you look up close, and it'll shred your fingers soon as look at them. And the adhesive is [b]strong[/b]. EDIT: It's pricey, though.

iamapirate Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Try using an industrial stapler to keep the velcro to the board directly. works a treat for me. A bit tricky for the velcro-to-pedal, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Proper self adhesive Velcro is better than Velcro plus tape. One less joint to fail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
