Do you put the flat (hook) side on the permanent, hard surface and the soft (loop) side on the removable part? Or vice-versa?
Or does it make no difference?
FWIW (and that ain't much) I put the soft velcro on the part I'm removing. When I used portable radios and GPS units I'd put the fuzz on them as there was nothing they could attach to when in my flight bag. The "hook" side always seems to find stuff to hang up on when put into a flight bag.
FWIW: if installing on a fixed aluminum surface such as the floor, etc. it's best to install the hook side on the fixed part as the loop side is known for holding liquids in place and in some case can lead to corrosion issues. Any other scenario it's personal preference.Or does it make no difference?

No. The package I have on hand says "Velcro".You mean "hook and loop"?
I'm sure it does. To identify the brand of hook and loop fastener.....No. The package I have on hand says "Velcro".
Such a losing battle. Velcro has been genericized like "make a Xerox" or "Google something." Gives the trademark lawyers something to do, I suppose.You mean "hook and loop"?
I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny or just anal. I specifically mentioned the hooks and loops in my question, so I do know the difference. I also know that the product I am talking about is called Velcro, just as my pickup is a GMC.I'm sure it does. To identify the brand of hook and loop fastener.....
Google is actually a verb. Since it got misused so much, “they” decided to make it so.Such a losing battle. Velcro has been genericized like "make a Xerox" or "Google something." Gives the trademark lawyers something to do, I suppose.
Neither of those are generic yet, although they might be someday. Think escalator, cellophane, dry ice.Such a losing battle. Velcro has been genericized like "make a Xerox" or "Google something." Gives the trademark lawyers something to do, I suppose.

Merriam-Webster says it’s the other way around...The verb is googol. And yes, the Wiki page was interesting.
The verb google and the noun googol are commonly confused
