Camera bag project

Does the velcro have some type of adhesive on the back, or is is just fabric? Either way - you should be able to put some type of glue on it that will hold good. I have some stuff that I can get from work ... I can't remember what it's called, but it's made by 3M... It's like any other contact cement, but better... Usually they will say what materials they can be used on - look for something that's good for plastics (the foam) and fabrics (the velcro).

Another option would be to put the foam into some sort of fabric 'pocket', and sew the velcro to that.


You could actually just buy one of the Domke inserts (they do sell them separately), line the inside of the cooler with the loop side, and just stick the insert on one side. It would probably leave you with enough room for the body - and just use the insert for lenses/other goodies.

See that insert with the lenses in it? That's what I'm talking about. You could either buy one of those, or make one.

I did a quick search for Domke inserts and from the looks of it one of those would cost more than the entire project combined, but since I'm not trying to come in under a budget or anything I may still go that rout or look for a cheaper version. I doubt I could make one, I'm no good with needle and thread but I guess I could give my mom a call and ask her to dust off the ol' sewing machine.

Velcro has adhesive but I'm sure I could get my hands on something that holds stronger.
