Douglas CP's - velcro on plates coming loose

[wolfe_man]

I tried a search, but didn't find one so if there is already one - please point me to it.  Thanks.

 

I have a couple Douglas CP's now - and the glue is slowly trying to work it's way loose around the edge (mostly top and shoulders) between the plate and the Velcro.  Does anyone have any experience re-gluing the Velcro to the plate?  I don't want to make it worse or ruin anything if I can help it. 

I'm thinking of using Gorilla Glue (or something of that type) to re-attach them, but wanted to see what someone here might have done that works better.

 

Thanks all!

Gorilla Glue grows as it dries and doesn't flex. You may want to try one of the E6000 variations.

Following because this is the same complaint I am having with my Schutt.

The strips on the Schutt seemed flimsy when I kept bothering them while making Max's mod, but I haven't noticed any problems since I put it all back together.

Nor do i. But there have been times where, while putting on or taking off the Schutt, I will get under the Velcro and pull it up some.

Jeff said they normally just peel and replace.

 

I am trying to get a quote.

Send it back to Douglas. They will refurbish it for you.

Yes, I contacted Jeff.  They charge $50 for a full refurbishment, but not completely sure what that involves.

[Fittske24]

They should replace the Velcro, refurbish the pad foam and replace rivets if needed.

Loctite super glue gel this stuff is legit!
