If you check out the archives from early July '97 you will find that I
asked the same question.   The glue that came recommended by List member
Malcolm Holser was 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive.  I never found the 3M brand of
weatherstrip adhesive but I found a couple of other brands in the
automotive section of most hardware and department stores (Walmart, Target,
K-Mart, Zellers, C-Tire, etc).

I can heartily endorse this glue.  It has become my favourite adhesive.  I
won't bore the list with stories of all the amazing glue jobs I have done,
however, the velcro strips that I glued with this stuff are still holding
fast.

Get some of this glue for this and many other glue jobs.  It rules!

some adhesive that does a great job of regluing this back up again?
