I've used Velcro to attack seats in three of my boats. With the first two, 
I started out with the pre-glued Velcro. After two or three changes of seat 
position, the Velcro came off the bottom of the boats. I switched to gluing 
the Velcro in with contact cement (at least two coats on both surfaces) and 
those Velcro pieces have held up well, the "oldest" one now in place more 
than three years. Maybe I just got an especially bad batch of pre-glued 
Velcro.

Oh BTW - I do a LOT of rolling practice and rescue practice. So those seats 
get tested. - Bill Hansen
