Re: Velcro

I would glue the velcro to the belt hook, methinks and take no chance of damaging my carbon stick:-)

Hey Antonio, some of this has been tongue in cheek, but I always wanted to try it but be careful with the finish on your stick, thay glue is pretty strong, I dont know what type of finish is on the graphite stick. If you are taking any kind of tape or glue off of a musical instrument you would want to use lighter fluid, which will not damage your finish.

Did you ever see the famous David Letterman show where he got into a Velcro suit,
hit a small trampoline and sprung onto a wall of velcro.

He stuck so badly that they had to go to a long commercial so that they could
get him off the wall to continue the show.

If you use a lot of velcro (and make sure you use a glue that is designed for
fabrics, so buy the velcro without glue on it and buy your own fabric glue)
and you put enough on I promise you it will hold your carbon stick.
Getting it back off of your body might be the trick.

PS,  I love velcro and use it for tons of things.  I just bought brand new velcro that
is very bright dayglo orange and dayglo pink, both of which are active under black
lights.    It's even cool to color code your chords (leads) with so that you can see them
in the dark.    I promise you,  if you use Dayglo Pink tagging on your chords,
NOBODY will steel them at the gig...........lol!
