Best way to attach cable/wires to MDF
Steven633:
OK guys, I am looking to start wiring up the mean machine (my CP) this weekend and am looking for any magic tips on how to keep the wiring nice and tidy.
Cable ties are the obvious option but I wonder do you guys attach the ties to the MDF? Will a simple drop of glue do the job? or will the ties behave themselves without being attach to the wood.
Any advice appreciated...

I use ties and the sticky things that you run the ties through that hold everything down:

I've never liked those sticky bobs. They tend to fall off in due time.
I've been using Nylon Cable Clamps, Nail on Cable Clips or if I really wanted to use cable ties, nailed a small penny nail through the sticky pad to ensure they stay.
