Typica lly for Firewall Forward we usually use either adel type clamps to secure things, or we use high temp cable ties (tefzel).

I like these instead of ty wraps.https://www.homedepot.com/p/VELCRO-Brand-8-in-x-1-2-in-Reusable-Ties-50-Pack-90924HD/202261940 To see if they are up to the job, use one to tie a wire to a 1/2" tube, then see if you can do a chin-up on the wire.

They offer many styles and finishes. What I have is not waxed, but has a finish treatment that is ever so slightly tacky. The package is long gone, and there is no ID that I can find on the spool. I found their tech support staff very helpful in selecting the tape. Neal George George Aviation 850-218-2939 =================== On May 7, 2021, at 12:15 PM, Matthew S.
