Description
Fabric store hook and loop fastener can easily lose their grip on your pedalboard and the adhesive does not form a strong enough bond.
A musician’s pedals and pedalboard have a hard life out in New Zealand’s live music scene and standard ‘fabric store’ fastener simply can not stand up to the rigours of the road.
The Tour Grade™ hook and loop fastener we offer is very low profile with extreme gripping power. The backing is a super-strong, rubber-based, pressure-sensitive adhesive that, when attached properly, over time will form an extremely strong bond with your effects unit.
To apply:
- Clean the surface where you are going to stick the Velcro fastener with isopropyl alcohol or similar. Make sure it is very clean and there is no cleaner or old glue residue.
- Measure and cut your Tour Grade™ fastener to the size you require. Peel off the backing strip and use a hairdryer to heat up the adhesive a little (this helps with the bonding process).
3)Apply the fastener to the spotless surface that you cleaned earlier and press firmly for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Warning: If you need to remove your pedal from your board after attaching, you will need to use a spatula or similar to gently lift it from the board. The grip is very strong and gets stronger over time, just pulling it off could damage your pedalboard!
