white blu-tac?

Hello All,

Thanks to the Members who have replied to me.

I would be happy for a Moderator to close this thread now if they feel that it has gone far enough ?

Hello again,

Because this thread has become so long-winded perhaps it should not be closed until I can at least post the result of the `Superglue Test`.

Then there would at least be an answer to whether Superglue is suitable for gluing pvc insulated Alarm cable to UPVC.

still tink my suugy of white blu-tac is viable. if it don't work there is no damage to cable or structure. if it works, then a winner.

Hello telectrix,

Thanks for your suggestion.

Would I be correct in thinking that I would need to use pieces of the white `blu-tac` that were wider than the diameter of the Alarm cable and that it might also discolour and make the cables more noticeable on the brilliant white UPVC ?

it's a try it and see. if it fades or is inappropriate, pull it off and start over.

Can we have a whip round for a tube of glue.

 

[telectrix]

would have been easier to fix/repair/replace the original wireless problem.

Hello again telectrix,

I was trying to be polite.

I know that anything like `Blu-tac` - even if white would have to be applied like a putty and wider than the diameter of the cables.

The `White` colour would be nothing like the brilliant white of the UPVC - even the very white Alarm cable pvc insulation is not as white as the UPVC.

Hello telectrix,

How would buying and installing about £500.00 worth of Burglar Alarm Kit be easier than gluing 4 x 150mm sections of Alarm detector cable around the shape of the Window frames / Door architraves ?

I have obviously alienated myself with some Members over my messages on this thread ?

I had hoped that I might have been `well thought of` on here as I participate solely to help Members with Heating and Plumbing questions having been helped previously with some Electrical questions.

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.

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.

Racist.........

I think the replies you're referring to are justified. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill in my opinion. If you'd glued it on Wednesday when you started this thread you'd probably have forgotten about it by now.

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.

Flexible conduit? Kopex!? (It’s a joke btw)

Wouldn’t it be called white-tac?
