I got a neat little outside thermometer for Christmas, which mounts to the outside of a house window. The mount is a flat piece of smooth plastic, about 6cm by 1cm, that needs attached to the glass and the unit then clips onto that
So far have tried :
the silicon pads it came with - fell off
super glue - fell off
self adhesive number plate mount strips - fell off
any ideas ?

Would it not be more suitable to mount it to the window frame rather than the glass? Or is the point that you can read it through the window without having to go outside?
Nice bit of duct tape. Looks ace too. 🙂
(araldyte is your friend though)
Rusty - sorry, I didn't explain to well, yes, you mount it on the glass so you can read from inside
Clean thoroughly (with IPA if you have some, else just hot water/soap), then warm the glass up a bit with a hairdryer or hot air gun - if you have neither then run some hot water over it and dry. THEN stick it on.

stick a magnet strip to the thermo and a strip of steel to the other side of the window?
cheers all
Small thin line of clear bathroom/window silicone. Tape it in place till its cured
Borrow a toddler a feed it a jam sandwich, stuff will be stuck all over the place afterwards!
