hook & loop recommendations help

August 27, 2020, 02:21:47 pm

I ordered hi temp hook and loop from Coil N Wrap 2 weeks ago. No response after 5 phone calls (Please leave a message. The person isn't available at this time) and 2 emails. Any other suggestions for a vendor that actually exists?

Thanks in advance.

Boy Larry, that's a big disappointment.  I've ordered from their website and used several of their product in the last ten years or so.  Never had an issue.  Sorry, no recommendations.  Think I'll look around the 'web.
Good Luck, Dave A

Dave, not your fault. Don't know what issue they may have but in this case, silence isn't golden.

Thanks,
Larry

I have ordered fro them in the past and I seem to recall that response and delivery were slow at times. Believe I thought at the time that it was a sort of Mom and Pop operation, not sure why. Anyway keep pushing, they have been around for a while. It is worth it, that tape was the only thing that would hold up to hot sun on my windshield to secure my sun screen in the hot tropical heat.

Thanks Horace. It seems that the only stuff I can find on the internet has a temp rating of 180 instead of the 212.  I don't know if the windshield gets that hot to make a difference. I'd prefer the extra temp availability if for no other reason than to do this one time only.

Surprise, surprise. After only 25 days the order from Coil N Wrap showed up today. Not bad considering I already got the loop from HookandLoop over a week ago after no response from C N W.

End of rant. Sorry I blew up. I guess that I will have plenty of velcro for some other project.

Half of us just now figured out hook and loop was velcro.

It took me a while also. It was pointed out to me that velcro is a brand name. It is amazing how well their advertising worked so that we associate its name with other brands.

Larry,

It is just like "Crescent wrench" and adjustable end wrench.
