  High bond velcro suppliers?

  Posted by John Dorling on 28 January 2009 at 11:37

  Hi

  Does anyone know of a velcro tape with a high bond adhesive and if so who stocks it? It’s for joining a segmented backdrop made from 450gsm PVC banner material.

  Thanks

  John

  Hi John

  The only safe way to do that is to stitch the velcro on as I have found the adhesive strength varies hugely from brands, with temperature changes and different types of banner.

  Hope that helps.

  Cheers Nick

  John is right you really need to stitch the Velcro as the plasticizers in the banner will migrate the adhesive on the Velcro and ultimately cause it to fail.

  🙁

  I was hoping that there would be something with a similar adhesive to banner tape. I’ll get back to the drawing board…
