One comment mentioned the adhesive being the weak point & I would have to agree. I hung a couple of fairly heavy pictures on our boat 14"x14" & more than once they had fallen off the wall when we returned. We do not live aboard yet so leave it closed between visits. The intense FL heat must be the problem. I ended out using small screws to hold the pictures along with the Velcro just to hold them still. This is working a lot better. The previous owner also reupholstered the salon using some Velcro on the cushion closures. That has become all gooey too. Hope you have better luck with yours.<br />s/v Freedom FoundAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968755283627941764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-51283014949619843512012-11-21T00:27:59.212-06:002012-11-21T00:27:59.212-06:00Great article - May I put it up on Small Boat Proj...Great article - May I put it up on <a href="http://smallboatprojects.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Small Boat Projects</a>?<br /><br />bob<br />s/v <i>Eolian</i><br />SeattleRobert Salnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236481906016930762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-49398869905574627492012-11-20T15:10:03.119-06:002012-11-20T15:10:03.119-06:00Sailrite market a YKK product - SNAD - which is a ...Sailrite market a YKK product - SNAD - which is a socket and stud, commonly used for attaching shade covers or awnings to the outside. It has a self adhesive to attach to the boat instead of the old way of screwing into the boat. They have a you tube video demonstration of it too. There are two different sizes and some are UV resistant.

You'd also need to avoid mistaking those shelves for grab rails in a seaway.

We ended up tearing it all out and making a panelized headliner in its place. The upholstered panels are<br />attached to the firing strips with the same Industrial velcro. The beauty is that we now have easy access to our coach roof for wiring and hardware. Yes, it does take quite an effort to pull down each of the individual panels but worth the investment. You guys definitely are more creative with its use!Neophyte Cruiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786143804921164212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-73111295360278279502012-11-17T16:08:02.642-06:002012-11-17T16:08:02.642-06:00Does it leave icky stains and marks on the teak wh...Does it leave icky stains and marks on the teak when you take it off?Drenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-26997064802111589542012-11-17T15:46:38.106-06:002012-11-17T15:46:38.106-06:00Command Strips are also a good option for strong b...Command Strips are also a good option for strong but removable hooks and so on.
