Heres what i like to do. It's a way that avoids any peeling of velcro. I like 1" velcro because 2 is overkill IMO,
and is known to peel off any labels if you don't mask them first.
The soft side goes on the board. If it's a DIY type wooden board, you can cut it oversized and wrap it over the side (to the bottom if you want) and tack it down with tiny black tack nails (not those narrow headed panelling nails) along the edges and spaced out on top of the board. They're invisible and will make the velcro stay on a raw wooden board pretty permanently. It's also adding velcro on the side of the board if you need it for an altoids tin, buffer, etc.
For pedals, Decide if its best to put it on the pedal vertically or horizontal, then remove the back panel. Measure velcro against the panel, but cut it around 2" oversized. then leaving 1" overhang on each side, firmly stick it to back panel of pedal while tightly folding that extra 1" in. The panel will then clamp down on that extra bit of velcro when screwed in and nothing will peel off ever.
This is pretty easy to do with boss pedals and you can also avoid the label. 1" velcro FTW.
