..i always told my gf...Barry must have been here...

Guess I wasn't fast enough hitting the stores, since you've gotten it in the end

Yes..please do get Velcro brand..I initially only used Velcro brand for my belt and the 'brandless' one from Homefix for the rest of my armor..and in the end, only my belt held up, everything else came apart the moment I started moving x.x (Thanks to ANEH for patching me up enough for merlion photoshoot)

notice my shin falling apart on my first troop..

(your right)

I'll drop by Yewtee point later to check their branch perhaps later, will let you and louis know if I find it

I presume by wide, you are looking for the 2" width industrial white VELCRO brand velcro.

Saw this at Yewtee Point today

this reminds me of an incident last week. i was at homefix AMK hub to buy velcro. the thin one. so i took the whole box to the counter and told the guy i wanted 1 feet. instead of cutting 1 feet for me, he gave me the whole box and charged me only $2.90, the price for 1 feet.

i think the store clerk must be new. hope he didn't get a salary reduction this month.

and you took the whole box home?

I know now who to turn to for velcro fix

I guess it might be the last time you see that employee

@Louis: Normal white ones won't work?

Nopes bro, if they could work, i dun mind...the thing is my armor is 0.8 gauge abs unlike VT is 0.6 gauge..thus it needs industrial velcro to hold it in place. Even with industrial velcro, the adhesive surface still comes undone after some time.

You could always still get the 2 inchs and cut it half into 1 inch width

think it should still perform its function..
