Hi Folks - I have a nice old Aerostich Darien jacket that is my go-to summer jacket. The only problem is that it is a bit on the older side (17 years) and the velcro pieces that secure the shoulder and elbow pads on the inside have come loose and some have fallen off the jacket. Aerostich, Inc. refuses to work on the jacket because it is older than 15 years, and I am not ready (by a long shot) to retire it.
I did get some of the repair velcro from Aerostich and followed their instructions for ironing it on, but never could get it to stick more than a few tugs before it would start to come loose. So, before I resort to having the things sewn on, I am going to try and use glue to secure the replacement velcro strips.
Soooooooo.....
Anyone have experience using glue to secure velcro strips to a Darien jacket?
I figured I would try a few equally sized small pieces on the bottom inside to see which glue would stick the best. Candidates to test include Barge Cement, Gorilla Glue, Shoo Goo, GG hot glue gun, Bish's Tear Mender, and finally, the old Cub Scout reliable Badge Magic.
Comments or thoughts on using any of these to adhere Aerostich velcro to the inside of Darien jackets would be greatly appreciated. I anticipate getting some or all of the above and testing them all out in the next week or two.
Thanks!
