Tired of your velcro adhesive melting on the playa? Tired of your velcro getting filled with playa powder and failing to stick to itself?

Claimed to hold up to 35 tons per square meter, but no instructions on how to take it off once it's on.

Take that goop lovers!

Pretty!
Looks as though it's designed to hold under shear load but pull apart when "peeled"..all the little connection points are springy and would release when pulled on, methinks.

looks like you would use a linemans's tool or pliers, block by block to remove it.

I wonder if they send a box of bandages with every order ?

Velcro makes woven stainless steel velcro.
Looks just like nylon.
Also nomex, very cheap.

And there is titanium velcro too.
