Will I ever need to replace the strap?
Yes, depending on the number of open/close cycles your strap is subjected to, hook and loop will lose its strength over time. If you notice your strap’s peel strength is starting to weaken, we suggest you replace it to maintain maximum protection of your weapons. This is normal for all hook and loop products.
Tip: To help keep your strap clean, engage the hook and loop sections when not in use. This will help keep it clean and extend the life of your strap.
Do I need to use a Prep Wipe before applying the Locking Strip.
Yes. Even if a surface appears to be clean, some dirt and oils may be present. Removing them will give the Locking Strip a much stronger bond.
Tip: Always carry a few extra .75” x 4.0” Locking Strips as well as Prep Wipes and Primer Sticks. You’ll be surprised how often you’ll find places you regularly use or store your weapon.
Do I need to use a Primer Stick.
Yes. If you plan to use your system within 72 hours you should use a Primer Stick. Using a Primer Stick will allow the adhesive on the Locking Strip to achieve its maximum cure strength in a few hours versus 72 hours without the Primer. Mounting A component to a Locking Strip before the adhesive has cured will most likely result in a weaker mount and may cause the Locking Strip to come off of the mounting surface when the component is removed.
