Velcro and EPS Insulation Board?

[absolutsnwbrdr]

Hey Foamies! Anybody have any experience sticking velcro onto EPS? I recently finished the insulation panels for my convertible roof, and want to make a fabric headliner. My thought was to use velcro to hold the headliner in place. So, does velcro stick niceley to EPS? or will it pull off after one or two times?





My other option is to wrap each panel with fabric individually, but then the attachment hardware will be exposed. Maybe you foamie artists have some other suggestions?

We Always lay down a thin base coating of epoxy on the EPS before sticking on the velcro ... Worked a treat for many foamie RC planes

i tried something like this once, did not stick at all. well maybe at first, but it did peel off. the next thing i tried was to add a little gorilla glue on the foam, sprayed the adhesive sticky side of velcro with water and stuck it on. works perfectly! and it stays in place. thats my 2 cents worth of experience.

Thanks! I dont have any epoxy layin around, but the Gorilla glue idea sounds like a winner! Knew I could count on the foamies!

sure am thinking about it. i love that place. been there the last 2 yrs. hopefully sandy won't do too much damage to the beach, or it may just be closed for campers.
