Advice sought: is it possible to buy industrial-strength "sticky fixers"?
Problem: fixing a PIR detector and a (fairly lightweight) light to the facia of a PVC porch. I don't want to drill the porch, so I'm planning on using sticky pads, hopefully much larger, and possibly stickier, than Sellotape's "Sticky Fixers".
I realise of course that I could go a-googling, but asking this kind of question here usually garners _experience_ as well as good ideas!
TIA for any opinions,
John
I have an idea they are sold for fixing mirrors to car windscreens.

Do these need daylight or UV to cure? Or are they just very sticky? [I once used one to re-stick a windscreen mirror, but I can't remember what the instructions said.]
The only flavour of them that I've ever had success with is the Loctite
2-part sort. A glue in a tube and a mesh with catalyst in it. They've worked 100% for me.
This stuff doesn't...

The customer reviews are interesting. Do read!!!
Somewhat mixed!

I wonder how many of those who didn't like it actually used the mesh bit. I've used it a fair few times (used to run a fleet of minibuses with heavy-handed volunteer drivers) and it worked fine. I never had to do the same mirror twice.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Ian Jackson saying something like:
I suspect the failures were caused by numptyness and failure to clean the glass properly.
