I use velcro in my racks and glue them with "contact glue" I'm sorry
thats the name translated from french its the type of glue where you
apply on both sides then let dry untill complete "touch dry" usually
10mn then press strongly once for all
it is a rubber glue that can be found in different strenght go for the
strong one 

It is important for any gluing to de-grease both parts with alcool or
solvent


hope this helps
