We had this problem when we tried industrial strength Velcro to mount electronics one off-season.

VHB does sound pretty useful though. Thanks for the tip.
Even though we mount our electronics with bolts into our belly pan, VHB wouldn't rip the backing off electronics. We used it to hold our radio in place and our camera when we we had it on for our first regional. Also used it on other electrical things for other projects. It will come off with some pulling if you twist first and then pull. It also leaves hardly any residue.
