Even though the adhesive on the Velcro is quite strong, the bond between th=
e hooks and fabric is probably stronger. If you just try to muscle the part=
s apart the adhesive might let go first. I just work my finger in between t=
hem to loosen it up some first.=20

This is what they are talking about when mentioning Industrial Strength Vel=

Terry -
3M makes a Velcro alternative called Dual Lock that is IMO a big improvemen=
t over Velcro.
It comes in a variety of formats and colors, this is just one example:
