I'm about to purchase some 3M Dual Lock (heavy duty velcro-like tape) and am thinking of getting the plain, non-adhesive version, because a half of the mated strip will be stitched onto the backs of leather bags.

The other half will have to be glued to the hard plastic (polypropylene) case. Anyone know if contact cement would be enough to glue these plastic strips to the plastic case, or should I use another type of glue?

Thanks,

Ed

I've completed the laptop case.

If you haven't done anything with the velcro already

get a pack of the "stick on" kind and use that on the case and the "non stick" kind on your leather

you get twice the yardage that way......

Just make sure you buy the same brand (I like e 6000 glue - but I don't know if it would hold up)
