Help Please - Sticking a micro gauge to the dash

[DAMN YANKEE]

Gentlemen/Ladies,

I have a tiny gauge and a great place to mount it on the dash (just below the speedo, on the crinkly black plastic dash) on a 2000 GTS. Double stick velcro just fell off. Any great ideas out there?

GRCForce, how did you get your double guages to stay on?

Thanks!

Make sure the surface is very clean,try some isopropyl.Take a hairdryer( ) and warm the spot you are sticking it to.Keep both velcro pieces attached to the gauge.Expose the sticky side and constantly push the gauge against the dash for a couple minutes alternating pressure for center to left side to right side.
I've pulled the gauges off a few times with no issues, while installing the door poppers and safety jumper wire!

I mounted velcro to my dash for my iPod. I took the velcro section I wanted to fix to the dash and traced it onto the dash. I then removed the paint on the dash within this box. I used 5-minute epoxy and applied a small amount to the back of the velcro and pressed it in place. It has been there for over a year and I've never had it come off.
