I've used years ago and they failed after a big jump. I'm sure if no jumping they will hold up fine. Make sure you clean/prep the board properly.

If you do use them and the adhesive fails (because you didn't clean the board well enough), you can remove the adhesive and JB Weld the insert on to the board. Removing the adhesive sucks - but I've never had a problem after "JB Weld"ing an insert on.

As per all the other threads about them - not a fan of once you see how easy it is to pull laminate away from foam it's a no-brainer to put real inserts in. and no that's not self- interest, I see all the fails. but depends on the board, you'll get away with it on some on them

Hey Mark. I added inserts to a board but a total pad replacement was part of the project. Are you able to surgically remove the pad in the insert area and replace successfully? Any tips and tricks you'd be willing to share?
