Question re gluing to weatherproof LED strip sheath

Post by baflier »

Hi - I am building a colorful Trinket powered bracelet using the Adafruit weatherproof LED strip. I am trying to attach my electronics to the weatherproof plastic sheath but am having trouble finding a material (eg glue) which will stick to it! Can you provide some suggestions?

Thanks!

I'm not sure anything will stick to it well. You might be better off using cable-ties to secure the electronics.

PhilB found an adhesive that works great with the silicone sheathing on the NeoPixels: Permetex 66B, available in most hardware stores. We used it for the firewalker sneakers: http://learn.adafruit.com/firewalker-le ... -led-strip
