OK, guys, I am going to try to be clear as possible with this.
So, I have glued a neon light to a cooler. Before I used only selotype (for gluing neon to non-spinning part of the cooler), which (because of the neon light weight) neon light literally fell into the cooler spining area and the cooler broke.
I bought a new cooler, and now I use selotype combined with UHU Patafix. But, after a month or two, the patafix just kinda melts (from heat that cooler produces spinning and room temp), and it lowers my neon light dangerously low, so I am afraid that it won't fall in the cooler spinning part again.
I was thinking on putting selotype on the cooler and the neon, that gluing the two selotypes with superglue, but I don't know how that would work.
Anyway, here is a picture.

As you can see, my neon is glued so that it's located on the plastic "triangle" and the Patafix is reinforced with selotype (you can't see it, but it's between the plastic "triangle" and top of the neon). But after time, it goes down and I am looking for a solution that will keep my neon in a fixed position, since I don't want to open my case every month to bring it up and change the Patafix.
I think the superglue solution would be satisfying, so I would basically take two small pieces of selotype (so that the sticky parts stick to the neon and one to the cooler triangle) and then glue that two selotype pieces with superglue... But, as I said, I don't know how it would work and I have already tried selotype only and now Patafix + selotype. Maybe if I put larger amounts of selotype (since I can only stick it on top of my neon and then upwards), maybe it would hold then?
So, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
