Extra strong "velcro"

The headliner in my parents boat is held in place with a product a bit like Velcro... only it's not hook and loop... and it's MUCH stronger. I have a different application in mind, but am unable to find the name of the product... any suggestions?

Thanks Herman
My 78 year old father managed to find it with google in about 5 minutes... took me an hour to find nothing!!

It's called 3M Dual Lock... great stuff....
As you say, their website(s) are a nightmare to navigate...

Thanks Michael.... looks interesting - I could only fins a few slightly obscure references though in things like pop science and gizmodo... do you know if it's actually being made? ... And if so, by who?
