Can you warn us the next time you try humour... especially French humour !Sometimes when speech marks and apostrophes get mixed up, they find themselves in a grave

My local hardware also does bubbles for spirit levels and sparks for an angle grinderHello All,
I am hoping to find a recommendation from members for a small tube of adhesive that is suitable for gluing Burglar Alarm detector cables to UPVC Window frames and Door architraves.
I don`t want to buy a Hot Glue gun and glue sticks as I only have 4 cables to run down quite detailed frames / door architraves.
Plus I have been told that although that type of adhesive does work when running the cables it does not hold them long term ?
I have thought about white Silicone mastic but only if there is no suitable small tube adhesive choice.
I have Googled: `Security cable adhesive` - `Security accessories glue` - Electrical cable adhesive / glue` - but I was finding adhesives which seemed to be designed to be used when jointing cables.
Can Members recommend a suitable adhesive - in a small tube hopefully ?
I am having to hard wire some Window / Door Magnetic contacts to my Home`s existing Alarm system because the Control box has stopped being able to receive the signals from my Wireless Detectors.
Previously the detectors were adhered to the Windows and Doors with strong hook & loop pads and there were only very short pieces of Bell wire running between the Wireless detector and the Magnetic contact on the Window frames / Door architraves.
Thanks in advance for any help / recommendations.

Sticky back cable holders or cable tie pads
Post photos up as glueing cables to a plastic window surround should make the electrician on here with a level of standard and workmanship weep...........
Do you have house insurance?
Covered for break ins?
If so do you think the insurance company will pay out if burglars get in?
Hi Chris
The reason I mentioned home insurance;
If the worst was to happen and your house was burgled, based on the age of your burglar alarm and lack of professional maintenance then I’m certain that the insurance would have just cause to not pay out.
Spend more do the job as it should be done. Perfection is the key not harf measures and it doesn't matter what it costs as a cable glued to a plastic window would annoy the hell out of me but then again I don't think I would ever live i a house with plastic windows, it like having a blow up doll as a "wife".
Its an alarm , thicko ;o)))))Chris, you'll not get much electrical advice from SWD
Its an alarm , thicko ;o)))))
I will reply, I asked for you to post a photo up so that we would be able to help you, South London is not desirable and if you can afford to live in a £1M house than you can afford to do the ob properly also if it was a nice area you would not need an alarm to start with, Peckham and Streatham maybe.....SWD - You have not told me what YOU would do.
IF You had read my first couple of messages on this you would know why this is having to be done.
IF I was doing this before the UPVC Window and Door trims were being fitted I would have made sure that I had the cables put behind the mouldings.
Regarding your comments related to my Home / You would not live in a Home with plastic windows - my UPVC Windows & back door are of a high quality specification.
My House is in a very desirable area of South London - where similar homes could not be bought for less than a Million pounds.
Please don`t bother to reply to me again.

It's your loss as I have done work like this in the past.
Bye.
