HoneyB Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I never tried Hot glue, but it would set quick. I dab a little 4200 on them and give them time to set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Seither Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Never used the tie wrap holders, have used the tie wraps with the screw hole on the ends. hot glue should work just clean the surface your going to place it with an alcohol wipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 those little squares sometimes have a small hole. If there is backing a short stainless screw works great in them too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for something ez to use and quick and gets the job done most of them have a adhesive to attach to the wall of the console.... a dab of gorilla glue would compliment DC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINCHASER Posted March 30 Author Report Share Posted March 30 Thanks guys. Screw are not an option Already used epoxy... works but press it on and it runs out and down whatever your mounting to and gotta hold it in place surprisingly long for it to grab it, so its messy and always worried about it getting somewhere in the boat Tried the adhesive backed ones years ago.... they are trash I did a test.... Picked up a glue gun and stuck one to a plastic box. Let it cool put a zip tie thru it and I was impressed.... I pulled the hell outta it and it didnt budge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that is my experience. The good thing about 4200 or 5200 dabbed on the back is that it is sticky enough not to run when you stick it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fsu11 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 ive also had bad luck with the adhesive backed tie wrap holders but recently i bought some on amazon that were 3m branded adhesive on the back..... let me tell you dont make a mistake of where you put them i almost ripped the paint off trying to get it back off haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
