I've seen some white stick on plastic pieces that help hold down cables. Where can you find those?

Got mine at Home Depot for $3.00 for a box of six.

I've got some from home depot as well. They work with zip ties.... and they're in the same section. I saw them on here and I think they work great.

My plastic things didnt stick to the underside of my pedaltrain. Kept coming off & I got fed up. I also dont really like to use zip ties because if something goes wrong on a gig you cant rip em off. I've been using the little wraps that came with my power supply cables because you can just wrap them on or off

I can see that. Although they stick really well for me on my wooden board. It took me a long time, and a lot of frustration, to realize that the best thing to cut zip ties off when redoing cables are the short nose wire cutters that I use to clip my strings.

Also there are velcro cable wraps that Home Depot sells in a large bundle. These work well if you don't like zip ties and they're cheap. Like this:

Now... if any of you would see my board, you would tell me I have no business posting about "organization" on here.
