Velcro dots. I hate them. Seriously, I do.
Ever since I picked up my Naruto manga set I've faced a battle with the 6 dots (3 each side) that keep the right-hand side of the case shut. Once the original ones became unstuck, they refused to hold for long. I've tried buying new ones, using glue to hold them...everything.
Last night I'd had enough and went for the glue. I put a little (liquid type) on the back of the 2 that were unstuck, which were still connected to the 2 on the other side and I held the case shut. What happened? Well, they stuck all right - so tight the case wouldn't open without brute force. The glue had somehow leaked through to the other side, making the glue hold the case shut.
I eventually removed them and used some of my last dots to replace some that couldn't be used, but now the top of the case isn't too tight...despite it staying shut. What I really need to do is remove all the dots, try to get the glue residue off and start afresh. But that's difficult when eBay is the only way I know of to acquire velcro dots for cheap...
I even stuck 2 dots at the top (there were only 3 dots originally) to try and hold it back when the velcro hell started and it still kept (and keeps opening).
