use sticky back Velcro tape again on our boat, please shoot me!!!!!

We have two panels that act as the head part of the V birth in the down position, and a settee back when in the up position. In 1997 or so I used some industrial strength Velcro tape on the boards. It held the cushions in place. Where I secured it with screws also, it held fine. Where I did not, the Velcro is long gone but the glue is/was still there. It took me a FULL DAY to get 7 strips (each less than 6 inches long) of that glue off so I can sand a repaint the boards!!! And I was using the home store MEK substitute. NOTHING else I tried worked.

**** NEVER AGAIN *****

Next time it's snaps.
