Velcro to hold up ceiling panels

We are looking to do something different with our ceiling panels because it's a PIA to unscrew the little caps every time we need to get up above them. I've read about people using velcro. How well does this actually work? My wife is convinced that we will hit a big wave and our entire ceiling will come crashing down.

Re: Velcro to hold up ceiling panels

VELCRO Brand "Industrial Heavy Duty" tape, strips and coins have 50% more holding power than their standard strength hook and loop fasteners, and are able to hold up to 1lbs per square inch, up to 10lbs.

Their "ALFA-LOK" fasteners are the strongest VELCROŽ Brand fasteners, and provide a high strength [holds 2 lbs per square inch up to 15 lbs.] , long term attachment, where the fastener is infrequently opened and closed.
