Multiple PCBs in 1 box w/ wired pots - secure PCB with velcro?

[dont-tase-me-bro]

I have two large enclosures I am going to put several PCBs in with wired pots to the front, and jacks to the back. I typically only ever use mounted pots, so I need to fix the boards somehow - this is a new one for me.

I didn't see anything very conclusive when I researched this. I was going to put heavy duty electrical tape on the back of the board and on the enclosure, and then use 3M hook and loop. I saw some stuff on double sided tape, but figured hook and loop is better for easier removal.

None of the PCBs have standoff holes. I saw the edge clip standoffs on amplified parts but seems like they may not work with components right up to the side, and they're out of stock.

Hot glue once the wiring is complete. Or get some liquid tape and goop the whole damn thing.
I wouldn't use hook and loop. If you need to fix something or debug, it will be a bear to get off and may pull pads with it.

I have used that standoff that you listed from Amplified Parts. They work well.

I have used dual-lock for this and it worked well. It was easy to pop the boards back out, and easy to snap in. Dual lock is more expensive than hook and loop, but superior in every way.
