Electrical Flex & Glue

[Stuart]

For neatness I was wanting to glue some electrical flex into place, is this an acceptable practice? Presumably a non solvent based glue such as "Gripfill" should not cause the flex to deteriate!

IIRC Gripfil IS solvent based. No More Nails isn't.

[Grunff]

Nope, you can get Gripfil in both solvent and water based, and same for No More Nails.

[Stuart]

So is it acceptable to glue electrical cable using a non solvent based adesive, or is a water based adesive still likely to damage the cables insulation?

[Grunff]

It's fine to do so, yes.

Hi,

Try 'hot melt' glue, or double sided sticky pads/tape. What are you trying to stick the cable to, and is it visible normally?

cheers, Pete.

Youre not going to nail it?
