Re: OT Re: [drakelist] Velcro Insanity
I use the industrial duty stuff happily too, but get mine at the hardware store. But here in Florida the heat has led to one unit sliding a good 3 inches downhill towards the windshield over time, but it finally found a happy spot and stopped moving. Left a bit of a glue trail, but I don't see it as a big problem.
