    There are a few different makes out there that use different size staples. The name escapes me just now as I've had several gentlemen jacks but will post tomorrow which one I use..........

    if the clip wraps over the cable the heat cant escape easy so it makes a hot spot the rest of the cable say is heating at say 15 but were the clip is it would double quite easily i think

    no rocket scientist here just a dumb tiler

    Hi Doug,

    I use a combination of tape and a hot glue gun, its quick and just a small blob holds the loose wire in place until the slc is dry

    There is a brand of ufh called"stretchy mat" or" Fleximat" they have designed cable clips for use with their system these can only be used if you are using cementitious foam based insulation boards so there are cable clips available for this problem
