Cable Ties/ Sticky cable holders for Pedaltrain boards?

[tinkercity]

Who makes these type of cable organizers? I've got a PT Pro and would love to find something to organize everything underneath...

Bought mine at radio shack.

you can get them at any Home Depot/Lowes

they never stay stuck for me...

 

[Radiosdead]

make sure you clean the surface well. a dab of alcohol will do it. They've never once come up on my TT bottoms.

Are there better options?

 

[Radiosdead]

I've never needed a different option as they were perfect. Convenient, cheap, brain dead proof to put on, sturdy, and .....mine are black so they look a bit neater against the black bottom.

I just use the white cable ties and trim the ends to fit. They are certainly very permanent if you want them to be.

am I missing something or would a little bit of tape work just as well if you've got everything set and you just need to hold it in place?

tape doesn't stick too well for something that is mobile all the time plus leaves a residue I wouldn't feel like cleaning. Also when you gotta make changes to wire directions having them zip tied is easier. just clip, move, then use another zip tie to anchor

Anything that "sticks" to the surface will eventually dry out and then gravity will kick in and it will come off. Just use the tiny plastic cable clamps with a screw hole in it, and give the screws a turn every year or so if they loosen up from vibrations.

Sorry about that! Didn't think that I'd be doing any harm. I was just scouring the board for a good pic of these so it would be easier to describe... I can take it down if you prefer... Again, sorry! Thanks to everyone too with all the ideas!

I have used these sticky cable tie thingys but beware when removing, the paint comes off the pedaltrain very easily- too easily in fact. Not as hard wearing as it appears.

I kid I kid no harm it was actually a nice surprise I didn't expect to see it. anyway computer stores sell these, as well as radioshack. They come in black or white.

I was looking for something similar to clean up the bottom of my pedalboard and someone suggested velcro - anyone try that?

Not sure who this is directed to, but if it's me the OP - don't really appreciate it. It's not like I'm asking about Klons or Timmys here!
