I use some sticky back velco to lay down where I need, then one wrap velcro on the cable. When going thru formers, I use 1/4 square balsa, sand a groove on the bottom so one wrap velcro will pass and epoxy the balsa down.

They come in blue and red. The blue has a little bigger hole for larger wires while the red has a smaller hole.

They work great.

I use the Aztech ones, and they work very well. I put a drop of CA behind each one just for added insurance, but they are plenty sticky regardless. I have the larger size, and they hold fuel tubing, servo extensions, and even my spektrum satellite leads.

I have used the one's from Don's Hobby and also, Home Depot, in their electrical section, have some neat hold down's that you can run a zip tie through. Work great for bundling wires also.
