Good luck with the Velcro. I've had problems with the part mounted
to the cockpit wall sliding (sliming the wall with gooey) in the heat. The 3M mushroom lock is stronger and works better the Velcro for mounting heavier loads (sold at McMaster-Carr) On your velcro, buy the non adhesive backed kind. Epoxy (or pliobond or industrial contact cement, or...) the soft side to your cockpit wall and use upholstery needle/thread to attach the spiky side to your to your pockets (glue bond the spiky side to solid objects). When I ever want velcro to stay put on any surface, I use the strongest bonding/fastening methods I can, because in some conditions (heat etc) the hook and loop is invariably stronger than the bond you can achieve with the sticky back crap they supply it with, which will lead to the same problem Frank had. Your bond has to repeatedly win the tug-o-war with the velcro, so that rules out the stock sticky in my book. -Paul |
