Best interlocking tape sewing fasteners according to redditors

Link

Thanks! This velcro was used for all the mounting on the underside of the desk. I screwed the cable raceway to the underside, however.

Hey thanks a lot!

It's holding up using the strongest velcro tape I could find at my local hardware store.
It's strong enough as it doesn't move at all even my I plug or unplug XLR cables from it.

I think that's exactly what I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010HADEA

The patch is iron-on so I attached some of this Velcro with its adhesive and it has worked great.

I wouldn't get these. Grab a continuous roll of double sided velcro instead. Cut it to the exact length you need and there's no excess to wrap up. Also more durable.

You might be able to find it cheaper in a store.

If you know how to sew and have access to a sewing machine you can make some great restraints with nylon web and steel D rings. If you cant find a local shop to buy your supplies you should be able to get it all on amazon.

Here's what I used to make my own:

At least 64 inches of 2-inch nylon webbing
https://www.amazon.com/Country-Brook-Design%C2%AE-Polypro-Webbing/dp/B003K2BNR4

2-inch steel D rings - 4 of those
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002I03QT2/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473861931&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=2%22+steel+d+ring&dpPl=1&dpID=41eLENuUUQL&ref=plSrch

2-inch sew-on velcro.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01D8MPRWC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473862024&sr=8-3&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=2%22+sew+on+velcro&dpPl=1&dpID=51jblEDy80L&ref=plSrch

Felt fabric
https://www.amazon.com/100%25-ACRYLIC-FELT-1281-72-WD/dp/B001THXM6C/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1473863302&sr=8-9&keywords=felt+fabric

1. Measure the circumference of your wrists and add 3.5 inches for the restraint to overlap and about 1 inch at either end for the hem. That will total up to something like 12 inches per restraint.
   
2. Cut 4 more pieces of nylon at 4 inch lengths. This will be used to reinforce the D-ring on the inside of the webb.
   
3. Cut 4 pieces of both parts of the Velcro. You’ll end up with 8 total pieces, 4 hook, 4 loop
   
4. Cut 4 pieces of felt – 2in X 7.5in to fit to the inside of the restraint. Padding for your victim.
   
   Put it all together
   
   
5. Hem the webbing or it will unravel. Fold the extra inch at either end of the web and sew it down for your hem.
   
6. Add the Velcro at pieces at either end and sew it down. Make sure to test wrap it around your wrist to make sure the Velcro orients right (don’t put both pieces on the same side of the webbing).
   
7. Slide the webbing through the D ring and position it at about the center of the webbing.
   
8. Set your 4 inch piece of web on top of the flat part of the D-ring and sew it into place. This part holds the ring so it wont move around inside the restraint.
   
9. Place your felt on the inside of the restraint and sew it into place.
   
   Hopefully the instructions are clear enough. Here’s what I posted when I made my own set.
   https://www.reddit.com/r/BDSMcommunity/comments/4vc902/diy_bondage_on_the_cheep/
   The red pull tab in the pictures wasn’t in the instructions above because I didn’t want to overcomplicate things.
   All together I spent about $24.00, but I bought all that locally.
   
   Feel free to ask any questions.

I use velcro cable ties.

I prefer this method because I can cut it to the lenght I need and I don't have to re-do it if I need to adjust the straps.

Suggestion: If you have already extended the Velcro straps fully and still have a hard time fitting it to your head, go to your local sewing store and pick up some extra Velcro and extend the strapping. The spring should only be used sparingly to ensure a secure hold, not to extend to fit the circumference.

Sticks to glass, and pretty much anything else. Removes without any residue.

Submarine Sweater:

Runs small, so size up (Wear Large T-shirt, buy XL sweater).

If to be worn in uniform, appropriate Velcro can be purchased here:

If you are able to use the supply system:

8405-00-163-XXXX
S: 8907, M: 8906, L: 8905, XL: 8908.

There is no NSN for 2XL or larger, but can be purchased online.

If you are buying one for yourself, but don’t want to pay $60 for a brand new one from the internet, you can either call around to local surplus stores. They will know them as “five button army sweaters”. The best bet is likely eBay. The trick on eBay is to run searches where someone running the store didn’t describe it the best way. You’ll find many hits on “five button army sweater” but also, try the manufacturers. Try searching for “DSCP sweater” and “mitts nitts sweater” and a little extra digging may yield good results.

Lastly, almost all are now made out of acrylic. You will have an extremely hard time finding a newish condition wool one for a reasonable price.

So in the last couple of months I have been pretty blown away by what a reasonable tailor can accomplish. I really wish I had met my tailor earlier in my life!

You may need to shop around for a tailor but eventually you will nail the bulls eye.

Anyway you could have some buffalo fuzz (thats what /u/JavaForever calls it so kudos to him for making me use that phrase everywhere) sewn on the sides.

Then I would just buy double sided 1" velcro tape [link] and stretch across like shown in the pick maybe double/tripled up. Regardless double sided velcro tape is so damn useful.

I used double sided Velcro “tape” a few weeks ago. Wrapped it twice around my leg at different heights and it worked perfectly. Can get a roll of it for $6-$7 and it has a ton of other nice uses.

Search for Velcro wall

I would say it's as close to the vive w/ DAS as the quest could be comfort-wise, an immense improvement overall. The face cushion of the vive is more plush but that's the only difference IMO.

I’m using Velcro, that way, I can adjust or remove the camera whenever I need to.

Unless you're going to be doing a lot of them, I'm going to just recommend something like these

You can buy Velcro dots. They include the hook and loop side that are adhesive backed. It should hold a patch.

Awesome! Thanks mate.Found Some Extra Patches on Amazon as well. you'll have to put your own Velcro Backing on But that's easy enough.

I would use double sided tape of some sort to make-shift put it back on, or a better option would be to purchase adhesive Velcro straps like these:

So I think people make it sound harder than it is. I ordered this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FMUJ8BO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AI28QFU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then I made paper cutouts of the rough shape of the sliders I want, transfered that to the teflon (with sharpie or so). Cut it out with a saw roughly and then just sanded with 120 to more precise shape, 200 to make it smooth, 600 to "polish" and then some sheep skin for really smooth edges at the end. The velcro stuff glued on to it out of the box and so far after couple months of curling having no issues with it adhering either to shoe nor teflon. The etched ones were expensive. I switches shoes since so the slider isn't perfect shape anymore, but still works perfectly well for curling so far. I also bought 2-component glue and all kinds of fancy chemicals to make it stick better, but the Chinese velcro has some magic glue on it already. Don't overthink it and just give it a try.

https://imgur.com/FVy61PE

P.S. with size 9, the 12x12 sheet was a bit tight, but should work up to 11 or so, depending what size slider you need. You can probably experiment with the hole in the middle etc. I also purchased these: https://www.stevescurling.com/product-p/sldisc.htm but they are a bit thin and don't slide fast enough imo, prefer the PTFE 1/4". Feel free to shoot me more questions, but it's really much simpler than it seems and a lot of people make it out to be.

You can remove them but I personally just leave them attached all the time, I don't find that they get in the way of anything. I use this chair for my normal computer stuff too, the brackets haven't changed anything. Here's a picture of how my chair looks with the brackets to give you a better idea (don't mind the messy cables on the floor). My previous chair wasn't as wide as this one, so the brackets kind of squished my legs a little when I was sitting in it, but it's not a problem with my current chair.

The brackets are very sturdy, you can swivel and rotate them but it takes a lot of force to do so. There's no movement at all when I use my joystick. The only thing is with the velcro - over time, after you've attached and un-attached your joystick so many times, it loses its strength, in which case the joystick does wiggle around a little bit. I personally just replace the velcro every once in a while, and that works fine for me. You could try a heavier duty velcro if it's a concern. I've been using this kind and it's been good enough for me. Hope this helps!

This is the piece you probably need less. Buy only this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0749JN5G7/

and some strips of double sided Velcro to make it thicker if needed.

https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Double-Sided-Multi-Purpose/dp/B000078CUB/

​

use the 18mm as front cover (and a cut of 6mm for the nose)

me too;
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IC2S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
works great

The simplest and most effective comfort mod is a counterweight. Find something about 9 to 15 ounces or so. Velcro it with one of those velcro strap loop things to the bottom of the rear headstrap. Now you can loosen up some of the side straps so it’s not crushing your face.

I use a piece of round steel rod. A lot of others use a battery pack. Others have used rolled coins, like a roll of quarters.

I’ve had the crappy halo strap from China, the Deluxe Audio Strap with 3D printed adapters, and the Studioform strap. For me a 10oz steel rod, wrapped in electrical tape and held on with a soft Velcro strap, like this, has been the most comfortable. My daughter prefers the counterweight with the Studioform.

Hope that helps.

The long wait for the VRCover drove me to find an alternative so I took a gamble on some Vive face cushions. There are probably better alternatives but here is what I did:

​

Bought this

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCHYD6T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and this

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010HADEA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

I cut the velcro strips into little rectangles and put them on the glasses spacer, then I simply attached the face cushion to spacer. It doesn't fit perfectly, you gotta work it into the correct shape. However I actually dig the foam padding, it's more comfortable than the stock foam and doesn't absorb sweat which I really like. It's not a high quality product though, there is some tearing at the seams but it doesn't seem to be getting any larger. Also depending on how you get the cushion to fit there could be a little leakage on the sides, not much though. I don't know notice it at all while playing. No idea if that makes the Quest vulnerable to sun damage so be careful and don't blame me if you damage your Quest. Lastly, the foam makes wearing certain glasses uncomfortable, I use some thin harry potter style glasses for VR though and they work just fine. Obviously not a perfect solution but it works well for me.

​

Edit: Just noticing there are Vive Pro cushions (I hadn't noticed before). Those might work out better for glasses. Can't say for sure.

Haha, it’s a “mounting system” that I’m actually super happy with!

Just two long pieces of Velcro strapping (about 1” wide) threaded over the desk frame but under the desk top. The Velcro overlaps itself around the bottom of the case, by about 18”. I also stuck a plastic door bumper between the case and the desk leg, to keep the case hanging more or less vertical.

It’s very very solid. Much more than I would have anticipated. I can hit the power button on the case without any movement at all.

Here is an Amazon link to the straps

USB docking station may help or any type of docking station

Little things can help like :

-cable length (use length you need not anything longer; especially for the permanent fixtures that won't require alot of moving)

-bundle the wires up. I'll provide some examples

1)https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Management-Sleeve-additional-velcro/dp/B01N3ZTRWH/ref=sr_1_7?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1501796199&sr=1-7&keywords=velcro+wire

I have those.

[I got these to keep them together] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0010HADEA/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I found some really soft double sided Velcro from the craft store and it works really well with the sport sheet harness and my medium Nova as well as Peirce.

Edit: I believe it's this Velcro https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Double-Sided-Multi-Purpose/dp/B000078CUB/

-cable tray(s) $22 - perfect for screwing into a think desk like yours, power strips can live in here as well

-nylon/velcro ties $7 - possibly cheaper at your local hardware store

With kush white walls like that a lil cable management might improve how you feel walking in every day!

Nice setup. Foot warmer could use some RGB tho

This is my list.
4x2" Industrial Velcro
Tri-Glide Slide
1.5" Wide One Wrap Velcro

Other people use a D-Ring instead but I prefer the look of the tri-glide slide instead. You need to make sure to use Industrial Velcro for the attachment of the DAS.

Here is what mine looks like

Try some 3M dual lock pads like they use on the back of the EZpass transponders and such. I use these on my cam and it's very easy to take off and put back up. https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-All-Weather-Fasteners-Inches-RFD7090/dp/B00347A8EO/

https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-90209-Industrial-Strength/dp/B0010HADEA/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1524920570&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=velcro+tape&dpPl=1&dpID=41moZkWVLnL&ref=plSrch

Maybe some little velcro dots that you can put underneath the insole at the heel?

I thing the best use case for these things would be in camping, sure as hell wouldn't be tying down anything to a car.

Although then again, these exist:

https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Purpose-Straps-Elastic/dp/B00006IC2S?th=1

Buy this, only use the hook side, and cut to fit.

https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Industrial-Strength-Superior/dp/B0010HADEA/

The felt does both. The glass spacer doesn’t have the curve that follows the edge of the headset so the felt blocks light and gets the proper angle so the pad is actually resting on something. Everything is fastened by the adhesive of the felt or Velcro but I did use string to tighten a few places.

I use VELCRO Brand Industrial Strength Fasteners | Stick-On Adhesive | Professional Grade Heavy Duty Strength Holds up to 10 lbs on Smooth Surfaces | Indoor Outdoor Use | 4 x 2 inch Strips, 4 Sets, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010HADEA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_k7EsDbRW79609

This is the same Velcro I used to attach DAS it’s easy to cut to shape and applies very firmly.

The Velcro has a sticky back that will glue to almost any surface. I just prepped the bag and the patches by cleaning them with alcohol. I didn't even have to stitch anything. It glues on very strong. I got it from my local hardware store. I'm sure you can find something similar online Like This

Maybe try something like this Scotch(R) All-Weather Fasteners, 2 Sets of 1 Inch x 3 Inches, Strips, Clear (RFD7090) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00347A8EO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_QL7PCb0PW60YH

I am in the process of painting my office and re-arranging everything and the Tevo hot end is currently in pieces while I mount a petsfang on the end of it... I can take a picture or 3, but it may be a week or so to get to it.

As for looks, I pulled off all the wire loom that was covering the extender to the hot end and instead use this velcro to keep the cables neat... so it is just a bundle of cables with connectors along it.

Here are a few things I just bought for our my board:

It was probably these ones, but I can't remember which size I got specifically.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IC2S/

If you want the 'I dont want to see any hanging wires look', you might get good results if you mount the power strip beneath your desk. Since it seems rather large it may be heavy. You can either screw it into your desk or you could try heavy duty Velcro Strips. There are also under desk trays and baskets you can use to just hold everything.

If you dont mind some wires showing, you can try sleeves for the cables and use a cable box for the power strip.

24 inch wide roll of velcro.

https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Black-Woven-Separately/dp/B071Y5DP6P?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_4

I would use something like this plastic velcro which could also give the games a floating effect from the back. You could alternatively use standard velcro but it would be harder to keep them perfectly level.

I've used this to add velcro to a bunch of stuff. Super strong and reasonably priced. I needed to add a cloth badge onto the front of my carrier and couldn't find way to make it easy to remove. Worked very well. I've even had leftover velcro that I have used for other projects.

The keys were originally bright white. :) It's an old keyboard now, so the keycaps are showing wear.

The keycaps and keyboard are the Ducky Goat Edition: https://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/Ducky-Year-Of-The-Goat-Edition

The keycaps that came with the Ducky Goat, IIRC were ABS shine-through keycaps, which will discolor over time/use like normal keycaps. I have a backup set of PBT double-shot shine-through white keycaps from a separate vendor that supposedly will stay white through a longer period of use. (I haven't swapped them yet, but maybe I should... they ARE starting to look a little ivory-ish.)

EDIT: Oh yeah, this might help with cable management. This is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Double-Sided-Multi-Purpose/dp/B004C232WA?th=1

ha ha ha! I sure hope so... I already have some rope and Velcro straps so this will be a nice alternative to add some variety.

To be honest, you're asking a lot for your budget. If you want to sit next to the speaker and be able to listen to it at a reasonable volume, something like this would probably work well enough: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Wireless-Bluetooth-Speaker-High-Def/dp/B00GZC35YK/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1427349938&sr=1-9&keywords=portable+speaker

But if you want to be able to actually be active and hear your music, you're going to have to get something much bigger. That said, you can do it without breaking your budget.

My advice would be to by a pair of these: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Powered-Computer-Speakers-A100/dp/B00GHY5F3K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427350132&sr=8-2&keywords=usb+speakers

Power them with this: http://www.amazon.com/Battery-13000mAh-Portable-External-Cellphones/dp/B00K64WR9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427350210&sr=8-1&keywords=battery+pack

And fasten them all together with this stuff (it's incredibly strong, trust me) http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-All-Weather-Fasteners-Inches-RFD7090/dp/B00347A8EO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1427350273&sr=8-7&keywords=dual+lock

That comes in at around $49 and while it's not going to blast your music, it will do you much better than any sub $50 bluetooth speaker.

Now if you're willing to spend some extra money, get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Wireless-Bluetooth-Speaker-Speakerphone/dp/B00E9YIFQ4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1427350482&sr=8-8&keywords=ultimate+ears

I can attest from personal experience that it's a pretty powerful little speaker, sounds great, and you can pair two of them for stereo listening.

Good start! Though the keystone jack type and cable type should match (Cat5e, Cat6a, and Cat6a all want different jack types -- slightly different spacing for punchdowns depending on cable specs).

  If you get everything on that list, it'd might seem like overkill for a home install (though you'll thank yourself and have fun showing off a very professional install to friends if you have the budget/time to spare to do everything to the nines). Resell value of your home probably won't increase a huge amount from this, but if you happen to sell to a buyer who understands how this stuff works, they'll significantly appreciate it.

I use https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Double-Sided-Multi-Purpose/dp/B000078CUB for cable management and something like https://www.amazon.com/PERFECT-VISION-MOUNTING-SATELLITE-CT7BLK-MH/dp/B00XUYJZBI depending on the location.

I used to zip tie all the things, but hated having to cut a bunch just to add or remove a cable.

I find the upside-down, shin-mounted controller method the most natural for foot tracking too. I've had good luck with one inch velcro one-wrap. One strip between the trigger and closest sensor, and one higher up the leg/controller.

The Vive wand naturally wants to settle off the actual bone of the shin towards the outside of the leg and foot. This position also seems to be a little less prone to occlusion issues.

I'm going to pick up a pair of the flipsteady VCM1 controller mounts a user posted below since they look nice and sturdy.

Official lighthouse-enabled foot-tracking is probably on the way, but it's nice to experiment until then!

I teach mod/severe in CA. I would wait to see the population you're working with. There are some things you will need. Like velcro squares, velcro rolls, titanium scissors to cut velcro, laminator, 5 mil sheets, 3 mil sheets, rotary trimmer, and optional but I would highly suggest it, a color laser printer The printer can take all manner of recycled cartridges and its nice to have to create picture cards at home. I would also suggest getting a subscription to Lessonpix when you start teaching in order to create all the picture cards you need.

Buy smart and write your name on everything. Take things with you as you go from job to job, if you do so. You paid for it, you take it.

Buy cheaply. Try Oriental Trading Post, stuff straight from China on Ebay, Reallygoodstuff.com, Dollar Tree, 99 Cent store, etc. Look at end of holiday sales. Look at ways to make what you can or adapt items. Don't buy everything and anything.

Velcro everything in bundles and run it behind the desk. Use the large Velcro that comes in rolls and stick the soft side to your desk. Cut a few 1ft pieces and place them perpendicular to the bundle of wires. After the soft side is properly placed along the route (perpendicular) place the hard side but leave the plastic over the sticky part. If you have any question let me know.

Could use some Velcro strips: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010HADEA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i9ECCb6PQFGB3

you can try something like this, https://www.amazon.com/Approx-Adhestive-Strips-Sticky-Fastener/dp/B01AI28QFU/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RAQ8RH8B64KGGQGA7DST. which is attached via adhesives on both the patch and the box. once they are both secured, you can stick the patch on or take it off the box whenever you'd like.

You have a bunch of different options available. What I typically do is take 2 inch industrial grade adhesive velcro (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C3EPH0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and apply it where I want it. Then you can get all kinds of velcro attachable items to stick on it. If you want molle you can get panels like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C3EPH0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or this one https://www.amazon.com/BLACKHAWK-Identification-Panel-Speed-Clips/dp/B002T0DX12/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493059728&sr=8-2&keywords=molle+panel+velcro

Lots and lots of choices.

You could also glue in a molle panel with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TSYNG8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or just get a needle and thread and sew it in. It's not that hard and you'll learn some important skills that can save you a lot of money!

I used this to fix some stuff to my military backpack

You can get little self-adhesive Velcro squares (or tape if you have more patience for cutting) that have the hooks on one side and the loops on the other. Then put the hooks on one of each pair and the loops on the other, so completed matches can stick to each other, even inside an envelope or plastic storage bag.

EDIT: I have no idea if this brand is any good, but here's the sort of thing I'm talking about. https://www.amazon.com/Vkey-500pcs-Diameter-Adhesive-Compatible/dp/B012EWJIXG/

I use the DAS that i had for the vive, ordered the 3d printed pieces to hook the pimax to it. Pimax face foam felt good but need the HMD around an inch or two more from my face. Used double sided velcro in between the face foam and HMD and it looks like it just might be enough.

Like others have said dog bed with rubber bottom should help. If you want it more secured add this to the bottom of the bed.

If the bottom of the box is flush and your on hardwood, this is what we use for a very similar problem.

VELCRO Brand - Industrial Strength - 2" x 4" Strips, 4 Sets - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010HADEA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1cPazb0WVBM40

While the naysayers are right and it's a bit unsafe I recommend strong velcro tape like this, in the case of a crash the battery pack would be ripped off, but under all other conditions that velcro will hold anything securely in place even at speed.

6 inch wide Velcro strips fit perfectly. Just cut them with some scissors to whatever size you think is appropriate and you can essentially adjust the retention of your Velcro.

If you decide to go with velcro, use this:

I bought my Velcro on amazon but I went to Home Depot for a D ring and found the same Velcro there as well

Hmmm ... not a bad idea get some sanding discs, a roll of velcro

So velcro has 2 sides (called hook and loop in the link). Which is the soft side? I would need a lot of one kind for each disc and just an 8x8 circle of the other kind, which would attach to the metal disc of the sander. Which (hoop, link) do you think would be best where?

These and a some of this are useful too

I mean, can't they change their company name? I guess its probably not cheap, but then this is a problem literally because they have been too successful in their marketing

edit: Maybe I'm wrong, not an expert, but it seems to me they are in this predicament because they advertised their products as Velcro, not Velcro hook and loop.

None of them list hook and loop anywhere, though to their credit they do list Velcro BRAND very clearly. And one of them does mention the product type as fastener. They should start advertising and packaging them as Velco brand hook and loop fasteners. That way if someone challenges their trademark in court, they can point out that every single one of their product's promotional material clearly separates the product from the company - right now, that's not clear in their own marketing (outside this video of course).
