Securing wires
« on: January 16, 2018, 09:57:35 PM »
I have a quick question for those of us that build their layouts on expanded Styrofoam.
How do you secure the wires under the layout?
First few wires now I used some staples, but you just look at the wire to long and it falls out on its own.

Good Morning Jörg,

I use these clips. They have double sided tape on the back. I have them in black and white. I got mine from Yebo Electronics, bit expensive, but worth it.
Just do a search on the net for Cable Tie Mounts. You can get then quite cheap online.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Evert

I got mine from Brights - even cheaper than Yebo...
