Gluing velcro to GRP

[martini]

I've got a couple of velcro strips stuck to my console used for attaching some of my upholstery. It's all starting to come away so I need to glue new strips on.

Anyone know what glue I should be using?

Double sided 3M VHB. You'll never get it off...ever. Well you will, but it'll take the surface of the gel coat off with it. Ask me how I know...

You could try a smear of Sikaflex. That'd be pretty resilient too.

try stitching the velcro to a piece of hypalon fabric then glue the hypalon to the grp in the normal manner

Thanks for the tips, hopefully someone in the loop has hooked me up with some self adhesive
