Velcro alternative

[pessimist]

Iseem to recall a discussion about some "velcro on steroids" suitable for attaching solar panels etc. For the life of me I can't find the thread or remember the name of the product.

Can anyone jog my failing memory please? I've a suspicion it was available on Amazon.

Thanks,

Colin

They say it's best suited for indoors applications?
I've just bought a solar panel and it would be very handy for me as I want to be able to remove it.

Seems to come in two versions - SJ3540 for indoor use and SJ3550 which is claimed to be heavy duty and for outdoor use.

Oh B*gger! No idea which I've acquired. Wait and see I guess. Thanks for the info, any suggestions for good suppliers?

I remember the thread! I'd bought the "normal" velcro before I saw the suggestion. That was some 2" wide velcro strips off ebay and glued them down with "sticks like shxt". That was about a month or more ago and the panel hasn't budged, we have been out a couple of times in some pretty windy conditions. If anything fails I suspect it would be the glue rather than the velcro. Its only a 30W panel though, on the cabin roof...
