it's a try it and see. if it fades or is inappropriate, pull it off and start over.
would have been easier to fix/repair/replace the original wireless problem.
Don't take it personally Chris. Good to have someone on board with your sort of knowledge re gas etc.
Remember a sense of humour as well though. I mean that in good faith.
Racist.........white blu-tac?
Hello again ipf,
Another `Wind Up` ?
How could anyone use what You are suggesting to run Alarm cables around the shape of Window frames and Door architraves.
What I keep describing cannot possibly be being constantly misunderstood by the Professional Tradesmen / Tradeswomen on here.

Hello DPG,
Thanks for your message.
I do have a good sense of humour but I find it impossible to know whether some Members comments are serious or joking.
Especially when I receive replies which because of what I have described make no sense or are completely inappropriate in terms of actually something that anyone would do or try.
Thanks again for all of your messages.

Are you for real?0Hello 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.

Never heard of superglue for cablesSuperglue ?
Superglue might not melt the cable, but it might melt the upvc frame and it's quite hard to contain, you risk marking the frames.Hello matt4321,
I have mentioned a few times that I only have 4 x 150mm sections of the Alarm cable to glue to the Window frames and Door architraves - total cable length 600mm.
I have been hoping for a recommendation for a small tube of adhesive - not because of cost but because I would have no further use for something like `Tec7`.
I don`t have any outstanding `DIY jobs` at my home where I could use a mastic gun cartridge size tube of any adhesive.
I am going to buy some Superglue to put onto an offcut of Alarm cable to see whether it will degrade / melt the pvc insulation as that would be very easy to use on the frames / architraves.
I apologise to Members - I should have done that before posting this thread on the Forum.
