esantoro Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 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.

Thanks, Ed 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) Quote Reality is for people who lack imagination Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right. ~Henry Ford
