Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that. You'd think I would have lost at
least one in the past twenty years. That is what I use to hold my 9.5
foot double ended paddle to my role bar on my Jeep. Come to think of
it, I've also used them to hold my canoe on the role bar (I have some
realy long ones). I guess I'll have to stop using them on my Jeep,
motorcycle, backpack, canoe, cycle, and snowmobile sleigh. However,
just to be on the safe side, I have taken the liberty of CC'ing Velcro
Industries to see what they have to say for themselves. Thanks
Michael.

What you might want to do is attach some velcro fasteners to your car, and
using a poweful digital camera mounted on the car and set in an auto-shoot
mood, take pictures of the fasteners in action for a period of several
months in all types of weather. Use the photos to analyze the loosening of
the velcro, if any, and report back as to whether it is truly unsafe.

You are obviously just lucky, but nevertheless ignorant.

Correct. You have not only endangered your equipment, but the lives of the
many people who have been in proximity as you've driven by in your various
vehicles. Your reckless use of velcro means you are a borderline criminal.
Why did you not at least consult this group before foolishly proceding in
this manner?

Perhaps it will arrive just after my letter, congratulating them for a
product that has held up against gale force winds and thunderstorms in
securing the bug screen on my porch.

Reading comprehension gone too, I don't have a car. KMAN is right, I
am not qualified to answerer the question. But I bet KMAN was really
traumatised as a kid by those drapes mother wanted to shield the
furniture from the sun.

LOL. Just to clarify, I am talking about the house my wife and I live in now
(my mother has her own house). She's all in a fret that we don't have drapes
to protect the furniture. I find putting drapes all over the house is like
living in a big coffin :-)

Yah sure, whatever.

Velcro's competition makes fasteners for marine and wet environments
that aren't hook and loop - like 3M Dual Lock. Someone obviously
knows what's going on.
