: The local Sam's Club (outlet side of Wal-mart) had boxes of self adhesive
: velcro in the office supplies aisle. The box was marked to indicate that
: this stuff had a higher strength adhesive on it. Inside the box was a roll
: of velcro that was 2 inches wide and I believe 20 yards long, with a few
: extra "dots" in the package as a gimme. As I recall the price
: was just under $14 for the box.

: So, there is a higher strength adhesive version out there, all you got to do
: is find some locally.
----------------------------

Thanks for all the ideas. I will look for some of the high strength self adhesion tape for the Arctic Tern that is almost done. For the Coho I will try to glue it back on with epoxy as suggested above. I hate to waste the 2 inch stuff that I have already.

Appreciate the help as always.
