Housing wires loose- what glue to use?

8 posts
  1. Does anyone have any idea what type of paste to secure wires in a housing with? The clip in my Nauticam housing seemed to be secured by a paste, and it has come loose. Any ideas out there?

    Help!

  2. You're talking about the wires for the leak sensor correct? All that is doing is keeping them from getting in the way of putting your camera in. If it is a clip that is glued on I would try some double sided tape to stick it down, You could use silicone but it's really hard to be neat with that in the confined space inside your housing.

  3. Like Chris, I used double-sided tape to secure the electronics of a leak detector and it’s cabling inside a housing. Easy to apply, neat and tidy, seems resilient and easy to remove.

  4. Hot melt glue works.

  5. When mine came loose, I used a dab of Gorilla Glue... It seems to be a thick consistency, water proof contact cement.

     

    BTW, Reef Photo recommended epoxy.

  6. I used a drop of superglue.

  7. Thanks so much everyone! Nice ideas. Think I'll use the tape and see how it goes. Was worried it would be hard to remove the clip if Gorilla glued and electronics needed replacing....hopefully not!

    All the best,
