I wish to thank you for the wonderful ideas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">I have a solution to one of the problems you mentioned&#8230;You said that when you used Velcro to hold up panels sometimes the Velcro held so well to its partner it pulled off the piece that was glued to the surface. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">If you shave off the &#8220;hooks&#8221; and &#8220;loops&#8221; around the edge of the pieces of Velcro (about 1\/4&#8243; all around) then the &#8220;peal load&#8221; can&#8217;t work on the edges, and the Velcro will stay on when you pull off the panel. If you have skimped on the size of your Velcro, you may need to use larger pieces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">(This assumes that the glue is the correct type for the substrate. Some glues, over time, just slide off.) &#8211; Joseph<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\" align=\"center\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A SetSailor sent in an excellent idea for making velcro work for headliner panels:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tech-talk","category-yacht-interior-forum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1031"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1031"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1031\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35983,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1031\/revisions\/35983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
