I bought candelabras with single clear bulbs to put on the window sills.
The problem is our cat knocks them over.
I'm looking for a way to secure them.
The window is metal.
The base of the light is tapered & hollow so i can't use velcro.
I really don't want to drill a hole thru the base & have to make a hole
in
the metal sill.
The part of the base that sits on the sill is very narrow ( less than
1/8" )
I was wondering if epoxy would hold on such a little area.
Whats your idea ???????

I remember my parents putting those little electric candles in our
windows when I was a kid... they had these little sheetmetal brackets
that were basically "Z" shaped (with the vertical part of the "Z"
actually perfectly vertical) with a hole in one end of the "Z" to hold
the candle, you'd slide it over the candle and then shut the window on
it, then it'd stay there. Sounds a little less destructive than
epoxy...


I recently saw in one of the catalogs of useful stuff that we get (don't
recall which one) suction cups that have a loop to hold the candle to
the window. So, they're out there -- maybe you can find with a little
searching.
