Really tough Velcro problems….

Has anyone else experienced problems with the really strong Velcro on the back of the Tentacles? It seems not to matter to what part of my cameras, recorders or rigs I stick the velcro patch it’s soon ripped off because it refuses to detach from the Tentacle. I’ve tried other patches, but the same thing happens. tried to attach other Velcro patches to the Tentacles but they will not stick……so right now the Tentacles are held onto my rigs, recorders and cameras by rubber bands or gaffer’s tape. Not ideal.

So, any solutions out there?
