Hot melt question

Hot glue does not have much tear strength.  

I use a conduit bracket shown below with a self drilling screw in one side only. Very easy to do with a good screwdriver / drill even under a layout.

I agree with Dave. Stay away from the hot glue in this instance. Trying to save time and money will cost you more in the long run. I use the flat stick on pads that hold nylon cable ties. these hold pretty good but I usually put a screw in them to make sure. If you leave the ties loose you can run all your wires. Later, if you want, you can tighten the ties to neaten things up. I also have a staple gun made for wires that works nice on single wires. The conduit bracket is a good idea or you can use the nylon clamps that are sold in any hardware store in the electrical department. Good luck with you project.

Thanks for the helpful information. Glad I posted to ask before doing it,,,,,,,Paul

This is exactly what I used, works great and many different sizes are available. I used these screws which are very easy to install with a screw driver or drill as AMCDave says above. Make sure to use the pointed screws and not the self drilling kind (self drilling ones are for metal, not wood).

There are a number of products like the one Dave showed. The beauty is you establish lops you can run additional wire through.

  Don't use the hot glue

Much good advice given here.I use romex nails and hammer them in about half way.If needed you can secure the wire to them with small tie straps.Nick

AMC Dave, I got the conduit brackets and screws. How far apart do you place them.....Thanks Paul

My layout is built like a house.  Supports are 16" apart and I place brackets every other support.......add extra if needed.... thx
