Led Strip Light/ Adhesive

[Burnsy]

Hi folks,
I've been trying to find what people have had success with sticking their strip light on with. I bought a 5m roll off eBay to make a light for my tunnel boot but the adhesive has been affected by the heat or something, it's just really tacky but doesn't stick. I cleaned it all off and tried a hot glue gun....no good.
So what will actually work, maybe kwik grip or a good 3m double sided tape.....I'm sticking it to plastic duct, I'm thinking the adhesive will now be the dearest part!

Cheers.

I tried kwik grip today on the side of the van and didn't work, which was probably a good thing since I couldn't figure out how to wire up the switch to turn them off

a few dabs of silicone does the trick the adhesive on the strip sticks long enough for the silicone to set
I have these ones http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5M-300LE...Accessories&hash=item2a12ec0502#ht_4131wt_922 and they are holding on quite well

I use 3M automotive tape........same as is used to stick down automotive trim. Sticks like s h#t to a blanket. I don 't have an actual name or part number handy , but I'll see what I can dig up. The tape itself is grey with red backing.

Thanks for your replies, I've used silicone the entire length because I already had that at home, if that fails I'll go the 3m tape!
Cheers.
