How to replace the velcro on your drive plate

[Cameron DeMille]

The velcro that comes with the weighted drive plates suck. This is how to replace it so it will last

Before you look at this, remember; If you can get the original formula contact cement, use that instead of the white non-toxic stuff. it will last a lot longer

Also. it's not shown in the album, but don't forget to cut out the water holes

great thread, thanx Cam!

why wait until both are dry to the touch? why not when they are still wet?

 

[Cameron DeMille]

I don't know. I was drinking one night when I was doing it and forgot about them. When i went back they were both dry. I said F-it and stuck them together anyway and it lasted 4 years with heavy abuse, so I just figured I'd do it like that from now on.
