Has anyone used (and liked) some sort of cold tolerant putty or very viscous caulking sealer for cramming Ethernet cable in and around the eaves?
I have used staples before and now see there are some close tolerance curved (6mm dia) staples and staplers, but the problem with them is twofold. First they don’t work well at the downspout (metal) to wooden fascia interfaces, and secondly, the tool has a big fat nose that restricts the use in the house to roof-line interface. Also, there is also the ever-present risk of ruining the wire permanently with a miss-fired staple.
Duct tape always looks like shit and will not hold over a long term.
