I'm still annoyed that another $7 mandrel has bitten the dust, but at least I can squeeze one last bit of usefulness out o f my investment.
if you apply little heat to the Velcro area it will shrivel up and come right off. Carful of getting the hot adhesive on your fingers. Kingspoor sell some great self adhesive Velcro. Cut the desired size and apply. Your back in business with a like new mandrel. I have 20+ home made mandrels all with special shapes to suit what I am sanding.
