richierichhsv Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ive got LED lights attached to the hood of the tank. The LEDs have double sided tape but half the strip is not sticking to the metal hood. Ive tried tape which either comes away instantly or lasts a hour or two. Before i head down to bunnings will blue tack work or what? Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodie03 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'd say the lights will dry out your blue tac. Maybe you could try a better brand of double sided tape? Failing that is there a way you might be able to screw them to the lid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) A basic neutral cure silicone will do the trick Edited February 25, 2012 by ash Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Or if your in a hurry a contact adhesive like kwikgrip, apply to item and what you wanna stick it to, let it dry till its tacky to the touch and then press into position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
