: Thanks to all, I think I'll go for cement contact. Since I later on plan to
: use a Joe Greenley seay, it might be easier to remove than epoxy.

let us know how it works,,I havnen't found that contact cement works for holding seats down. It's worked fine for minicell thigh braces but for flexible thermarest seats where they get moved they always seem to come loose. Whether it's the velcro getting gummed up or the contact cemented tape pulling up, or the contact cement releasing from the plastic velcro. Eventually working with a chunk of minicell that is held in place by adjustable hip pads works better without relying on little tabs of velcro.
