e4effort Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I tried searching for existing threads on this matter, but I couldn't find an answer. So I use both the Blade-Tech velcro inner/outer belt with Tek-Lok magazine pouches and I really love the setup, but I'm having issues between the inner and outer belt where the magazine pouches meet. They entire left side of my outer belt is loose because the mag pouches take up a good amount of what used to be the velcro outer belt and now it just slides up and down when I go for reloads(extremely annoying). I understand most if not all people use adhesive velcro strips(?) to remedy the problem, but I wanted to know exactly what kind of adhesive velcro I should buy. I googled around and see a lot of different choices, but my main concern is a good adhesive that will last long(enough) and not peel after a few times of taking the belts on and off. Reviews after reviews for all the products I looked at seem to point at the adhesive not holding up to anything heavy duty even though the description of the adhesive is "industrial strength". Basically, I'm looking for first hand experiences of what worked for you and what didn't(brands or companies that worked). Is there another way to remedy this issue besides adhesive velcro? Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I just went to a (gasp!) fabric store. They sell packages that have small pieces of hook and loop with adhesive on the back. I trimmed them a bit to fit the tek loks and haven't had any trouble with them peeling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvibe Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Home depot sells "industrial strength" Velcro. It comes in a box with a long 2" wide strip of the hook and loop sides. It's the perfect width. Stick a piece on and use a razor blade to cut the velcro out of the area in between the fingers you squeeze to remove the tek-lok. I've had this stuff on mine for 1 1/2 years and it's still working fine. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Velcro-Industrial-Strength-4-ft-x-2-in-Tape-90593/202261931 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 This is what I use, it's expensive (compared to the local stores) but the adhesive is about as strong as it gets: http://www.mcmaster.com/#hook-and-loop-fasteners/=u8yx95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Good Heavy duty velcro is all you need. I put it on mag pouches and holster to make up for lost contact area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigarm Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I would like to see a picture of how you do this. I don't have too much trouble with USPSA, but feel like a "sagger" in 3 gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
