Some time ago a member responded to a question about a suitable glue for gluing velcro to canvas. He had worked in the canvas business and suggested Sikaflex 303 would do the job.
Sikaflex advise me that they do not have a 303 product and no product for that purpose. Perhaps the member is still watching such threads and he or someone else might be able to suggest an alternative. The position is too difficult to sew.
Thankyou.

I would use Silaflex 11FC (because I always have it and it never fails). I have not used it for Velcro/canvas, but I have used it for Velcro/outdoor carpet.
Mask the canvas where you don't want adhesive, rub it
well in to both surfaces, then add a little extra, press together and VERY lightly clamp to keep it flat (not enough to squeeze adhesive out).
Cheers,

I have also done the same as Peter - but I use 227.
Also used it to stick the foam insulation onto the walls/roof of the trailer.
Cheers
