JoelR Report post Posted September 16, 2010 I've been asked to replace worn-out velcro on a belt. The belt has been described as a three-layer leather belt with a velcro closure 6" in length and 2" in width. My assumption is that the Velcro is attached on each belt end. So, the question is this: has anyone used 3M Dual Lock in a sewing situation? It appears to me this would make a more stable closure system that would last longer than traditional hook-and-loop but I know that sewing through the adhesive would be a pain. Not sure if there is an easy way to remove the adhesive as well. Also, what do you all think is a fair price to charge for this type of repair? All stitching would be done by hand. Thanks for any and all insight you can give. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke Hatley Report post Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) If the original was Only Glued that is what i would do... But if i were to replace the Velcro i would sew it back on. probably $20.00-$25.00...... Edited September 16, 2010 by Luke Hatley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoelR Report post Posted September 17, 2010 Thanks Luke. I was thinking about the same price range. I have not seen the original yet so I do not know if it was sewn or glued but my assumption is sewn. The reference to Dual Lock was to see if anyone had used it in this situation. I use it on my motorcycle helmets for mounting my blue tooth headset and it is used for holding turnpike electronic passes to windshields. I have since learned that it is available without the adhesive but is fairly expensive at about $10 a yard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
