Brandrup storage pockets velcro re-newal

[Hotel California]

As many on here have the Brandrup storage pockets (rather expencive but handy) so have we for about five years now .
Those having them also have seen the verclo adesive tape can come loose in time , as did some on mine .

I went and re-newed the reciving part glued on the wardrobe and trim .
Got myself this , we use it at work and got my hands on some leftovers...


Taking of the old tape leaves a load of sticky glue on the trim .
I found it easyer coming of from plastic trim as from the wardrobe trim .
Used some celulose thinner to try ans resolve the glue but did't trust it that much damaging the trim.
So on a warm day just "rolled'" up the residual in to some "snot balls"

Did noticed the wider velcro that came with the bags comes off not so good as the narrower tape

When all clean cut the new adesive velcro to size and putted it on the storage bags

Take off the protection and put the bag in place...pressing firm

Then gently remove the bag leaving the adesive velcro in place and giving it a firm push to stay in place

Then double up the velcro as some places the velcro is wider...

Now leaving it without the bags mounted for 48h and giving it a press once a while ....

I did multiple bags....





One warning .....lots of "snotballs " and a "blister on my little finger" from rolling up the glue-residual (like the song by the Dire Straits...)

I find WD40 is good at getting residual adhesive off of plastic.

I just used evostick contact adhesive on ours. Stuck the original velcro back on.
Seems ok so far and took about ten minutes.

My job took about one hour , but i am freaky on cleaning and putting things straight ....
