Not familiar with anything that sticks together, but dental floss works fantastic for bundling up wires. We all have that package of floss that our dentist gave us...that we never use :) Craig Zeni Cary NC |

Slightly sticky helps string stay together.

This is typically referred to as cable lacing.

It’s called Stator Lacing and Tie Cord. In another life, we used it to bind rewound coils of wire for motor stators and armatures. It is a braided flat cord (cotton?) that was coated with wax, or something resembling wax. That was 45 years ago and I still have a partial spool of it. You could also wax your own thread with beeswax and get similar results. Joe Melhorn Sahuarita, AZ

A friend of mine uses a different approach to keeping wires out of the motor of a locomotive. He uses Aleene's Tack-It Over and Over. You can use the adhesive to hold down wires and you can peel them up and move them later. I've seen him use this stuff. Appears to be a good idea if it holds up over the years. You can get this adhesive at craft stores.
