I had a order for a product that needed a velcro strap a couple of years ago. The product order wasn't huge (100) but it worked out cheaper to buy hundreds of straps from the far east than just 100 so I am now left with a couple of boxes full. They are black, around 300mm long and 20mm wide with usuable velcro along its length except for the 30mm square where they are stitched. Can anyone thing of uses for them. So far I have sold a few as replacement straps for wet boots, mast straps for travelling, watch straps for going over drysuits etc but surely there are other marine uses??? If anyone is interested in them, then PM me for more details. I am happy to do 1 for 60p, 2 for £1, 5 for £2 or bigger dicounts for more. All plus postage at cost which should be less than a quid. ------------- http://www.highlandtopper.com - For Topper boats & spares in Scotland-highlandtopper.com |

List them on ebay, stick 'fetish' in the title and some S&M perv will probably buy them!! The sound like the velcro used to attach a tacktick compass to a mast, although when mine went Tacktick sent me a new one free! |

For boats with a loose foot main, they're quite handy as clew tie-down/tie-around straps, might be useful for lead-mine types as well, cockpit tidies, mast halyard ties, outhaul clew tie-down/tie-arounds.....
