If it can hold 35 ton / sq meter
How the heck do you pull it apart.
It was bad enough when we used standard velcro to fix fluroescent lights up

Peel it.

But if it's attached to a car shell on one side and a panel on the other side, that's going to make it quite difficult to bend?!

Very interestingggg , i would like to get my hands on some to find out what use i could put it to.

I velcroed the transmission tunnel onto the chassis of my Vortx. It was almost impossible to remove because I couldn't start the peel.
Its ok but how do you fasten it to the parts to be held together

So you have to glue or bond both parts to whatever you're sticking together? Hmmm. Why not just stick the bits together without the steel Velcro.......and worry about getting them apart another day.
i think its great but id never feel safe if velcro was holding my house together.

Are you ment to weld this stuff to the two objects to attach? Thats a waste of time then!
Amazing stuff though.
Although a square meter of good velcro with good surfaces to stick it to would hold a serious amount of weight aswell. Any guesses how much!?

the biggest advantages of anything like this is it doesn't take time to set/cure and heat resistance
All very nice, but you need to attach the Steel velcro to the materials you are joining.
If you cant get that bond to the same strength as the velcro to velcro bond, its all academic.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
ie probably the bond between the velcro and the material its attached to. No problem with the velcro to velcro strength figures.
Maybe the idea is to put on bricks/blocks (or even whole wall casts) in the factory to replace mortar . It has the potential to be as strong (or stronger) while making walls as easy to put up as lego.

This would have to be crash tested first, cos if it can be peeled off maybe it could be ripped off if half your bumber is attatched to the back of a tractor
35 ton per metre square, what would that equate to for a 1" square on the end of a tube ? I think I'll hang on to the welder a bit longer.
