velcro fasteners

Dec 05, 2006 0 Replies

Earlier this year before embarking on a longish holiday abroad with the car, I had the idea of using Velcro pads to fix a few small objects in the car so that they could be conveniently to hand.



This worked very well until I got into hot sunny conditions, when the velcro adhesive just melted - I would guess that it's only good up to about 60 °C. I believe Velcro (or someone) do a high temperature version of their hook & loop pads, but I don't think it's normally sold to the public. At any rate I've been unable to find anywhere to buy it.



One solution might be to use a non-adhesive velcro (of the kind used in outdoor clothing) and my own adhesive to stick it down. So my question is, what is a suitable adhesive? I want something that is:



a) suitable for a vinyl car interior



b) good up to about 100 °C,



c) able to stand vibration,



d) (ideally) removable from vinyl with a suitable solvent



Any suggestions?
