Re: Velcro Glue

Shoe Goo has extremely high adhesion strength, and more importantly very high PEEL STRENGTH.

I build quad roller skates for both indoor and outdoor use with only Shoe Goo holding the plate to a carbon fiber stiffener sheet that is also Shoe Goo'ed to the soles of the shoes/boots. One pair lasted over 12 years with no separation.
We have glued treads back onto our wheels when the staples failed, and they seemed to hold even better than rivets.
