VELCRO Brand Fasteners Industrial VEL 30703 USA Reviews Summary

Adhesive Strength

Pros:

• "The adhesive is SUPER sticky. One of the strongest adhesives I've seen."
• "Works like a charm. Been on there now for almost a month and no sagging, no loose strips - magic."
• "The adhesive is extremely strong, but the Velcro itself, doesn't even hold up my floating shelf which isn't even a pound!"
• "The adhesive backing makes it easy for quick installation. And the Velcro is very strong."
• "The adhesive on the non-Velcro side is very strong."
• "The adhesion though is amazing. The package says it supports up to 10 pounds, and they aren't kidding."
• "The sticky back is very strong, once put on to something it takes a lot of effort to peel it back off."

Cons:

• "I’ve used these for two different things: to hang a tapestry and to hang a canvas. Both were under 10lbs and I used 3 of these on each wall decoration. Lasted maybe a few days for both before it fell off the wall because the velcro and sticky backing are not strong enough."
• "After a few months of use, these are really not holding up."
• "Adhesive strength is not so good! Adhesive gave way after Pulling the Velcro apart half a dozen times."
• "The knock-off ' adhesive either dried or shrunk leaving it just tacky at best."
• "Unfortunately I don't feel the same way about the adhesive."
• "Adhesive is poor. Will not stick to brick, drywall, or plastic unless you use a third part adhesive."
• "The sticky backing did not stay adhered to the material I had put it on."

Usability

Pros:

• "They are easy to use and the retention is fantastic."
• "Easy to cut, stick and attach! I needed a shelf on my wall to hold some controllers and it is sturdy enough for 5 controllers!"
• "I use it to mount my blink camera and for other wall mounted accessories EASY MUST BUY!!! DO IT!!!"
• "These have strong hold and makes organizing transformers, switches and similar items so easy."
• "They're also really easy to use - just peel and stick!"
• "This allows you to cut Velcro to size."
• "Very easy to apply."

Cons:

• "The problem is that the plastic was SO HARD to peel off the soft fluffy side."
• "The backing isn't so easy to take off though and that's a little frustrating."
• "It was a struggle to remove the plastic backing from the strips and it shouldn’t have been."
• "Difficult to get the cover protecting the glue side off."
• "Need to have better way of removing backing of adhesive side. I had to take a knife to score the back in order to remove backing."
• "Peels off all different surfaces after a few days. My toddler can pull the Velcro off easily if that tells you anything."
• "The only thing I will warn about is that one side of the velcro is super easy to peel the backing from, the other side is the damn devil and you will have to fight to pry the backing from the pad!"

Longevity

Pros:

• "So far so good! the mattress stays in place with no slippage."
• "I have used some now for a couple of months and there is no loss in holding power."
• "After about 2 months it’s still standing strong!"
• "I've used it indoors and outside in wet and dry, hot and cold conditions for over a year now. It works very well indeed."
• "I don't use it frequently, but the strength doesn't seem to have faded or degraded over the ~5 years I've had mine in use."
• "I am really happy with this. I used it to affix an anti-fatigue mat in place on the floor at a high-traffic standing desk. The pad hasn't moved at all unless it's being lifted for mopping."
• "I've used this name brand Velcro in several trucks and it still holds good over several summers and winters."

Cons:

• "For me it did not work. I bought these to use for my couch cushions."
• "I used the product on some small square frames. I was hoping not to have to use any nails on the wall but the product doesn’t stick properly and my frames fell and broke."
• "It comes off way too easy."
• "The adhesive is poor - both to put on the surface and the velcro."
• "Like some of the other reviews this doesn't stick well."
• "After some time the strips failed to work, I had them adhered to a power strip under my office desk, and after about a month as I walked in heard a loud crash."
• "The velcro strips are falling off due to the back not maintaining adhesion, so I have to use glue."
