How to Hold Down Velcro to Foam - Car Upholstery

This time I want to share a tip on how to hold down a velcro strip to a foam base by using the regular upholstery yellow glue.
The hook side strip should be glued down to the foam material.
To get the best adherence a piece of synthetic mesh should be sewn down on the reverse side of velcro material (hook side velcro).
By using a brush a dense coat of yellow glue should be spreaded over the mesh letting it penetrate through the mesh to the wrong side of velcro too.
This first coat of glue should thoroughly dry to apply a second coat.
The same process is done on the foam area where the velcro (mesh side) will be glued down.
The mesh helps a lot to gather a good amount of glue that after it is dry it will grasp very hard to the foam area. Besides the velcro fasteners will remain flexible because of the yellow glue.
I dare to say the adhesion is very resistant.
I hope you enjoy this video and find it useful!

I was told to sand the back side of the velcro to give the glue a place to bite, and that worked also, but this is good to know also, thanks!

What if…the Velcro is on the sides of that hole you cut…how do I make a seam with Velcro sown onto it go deep enough

[@Cechaflo]

The hook side velcro is sewn to the mesh strip. Then this strip is glued down deep enough onto the foam. already cut in low relief.

Nice tip! Looks like you're using a new PFAFF machine. What model is it?

[@Cechaflo]

The sewing machine is a Pfaff 1245-706/47 (old model)

[@jdimeo1966]

@@Cechaflo Wow, maybe old model, but looks new condition.
