G'day all.

We are in the middle of getting ready to go camping in a couple of days(yes after Easter) and I wanted to put in our little portable dvd player for my daughter to watch movies while we travel.

The unit is on of those fold out affairs which comes with a bag to mount it on the seat in front except the constuction of the bag leaves a lot to be desired. Once the bag is mounted it relies on a bit off webbing held on with velcro to stop it falling out. Worse part is when you wish to change movies this webbing sits in front of the dvd door and makes it a pain to change dvd while on the move.
So how to improve it............Dingdingding.......Brainstorm.

Let me say from the onset the guy who invented velcro is my hero!

Basically what I did was line the bag and the back of the dvd player with ............you guessed it ........velcro.

Now the reason for this post.

I tried to think of how to fix the velcro as the sticky backed velcro would never hold IMHO. Sewing it on wasn't possible.
So I thought of using some sort of glue. Well being an electrician I have seen what it does to plastic and it ain't pretty. Contact may have done the same.

Well I used Silicon and boy did it work well. If anyone ever decides to stick velcro to plastic or cloth and can't sew it on I can thoroughly recommend good old fashiond silicon.
And that was the reason for my post. May seem silly to post this but if it helps someone I have done a good deed for the day.
