I second that, except I use THHN insulated wire, which has a tougher
insulation for "oil & gasoline" resistance and is available in
colors...available at any home center. I wouldn't use the wire for coax or
control cables...just the hardline. Tape the rest.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Cable ties, tape or both?
Dick:
Neither. I use a length of #14 or #12 solid insulated house wire as my
cable ties. They are (or used to be) relatively cheap and are re-useable.
I wrap a turn of wire around the tower member and twist the wire where it
crosses itself, to anchor the wire to the tower. Then I wrap the wire ends
around the cable bundle, twist and voila' - nice and secure.
