Cable ties or velcro

[basic]

I have 12 ccrs on my tree with cable wire What is best to use cable ties or Velcro?  Thank you

[BrianBruderer]

I use cable ties, but it seems like Velcro would be better because it would dig into the casing on the CCRs as much.

thank u brian   for the advice now I have to cut off cable ties and replace with Velcro to save the ccrs

[BrianBruderer]

Sorry you have to cut off the cable ties! It is up to you, most people use cable ties.

I have used cable ties going on four years now just don't over tighten them

This is my 1st year but I used cable ties also. Cheaper as well. I just didn't over tightened them as someone else stated. I used white ties because each of the 1x2 I used for the Matrix are white & so you cannot see them. The white boards seem to made the Matrix stand out better. Next year I hope to cover the Matrix  (each ribbon) in a kind of see through white plastic. I wonder how that would look on a ccr tree? A tree might be next years project but we shall see.

 

Hope you kept the ties on. Next year try the Velcro idea. I was thinking that in the cold sub-0 temp. we get the Velcro my not hold up.

I use white electrical tape, I used to use cable ties but I was never comfortable with them on the ribbons
