Tape for a damp carboy temp probe?

[Ayzala]

Ok, so I got my ferment fridge set up and properly controlled.
I chilled my wort to 62 but because of humidity, condensation occurred immediately. When I tried to tape the temp probe and insulation to the carboy, no joy! I used all kinds of tape, but nothing would stick. I ended up using a chain of zip ties to hold it on. Is there a particular type of tape that would stick or another method used (hair dryer real quick to dry the side?).
The probe is fixed to the inkbird so I can't attach it prior to filling (without pulling the probe and controller out of the fridge).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Wrap a bungee cord around the fermenter with the padded, insulated probe pinned under it.

Yes, a bungee cord is your friend in this case, easily added or moved in wet or dry conditions.

Have you tried Gaffer's tape?

I have not, didn't have any. But with its ability to come off clean and do little damage to surfaces, do you think it would stick to a damp surface? I think if I go to the Depot, I'll just pick up a pack of bungee cords.

Thanks,

I use 2" wide/3 foot long velcro straps. One works for a keg, two work for a 6.5g carboy...

VELCRO Brand 3 ft. x 2 in. Velstrap Straps (2-Pack) 90440 - The Home Depot

VELCRO Brand heavy duty straps are perfect to bundle small and medium items together. The 2 in. wide strap provides increased holding power. Makes bundling, securing and cinching easy.

Bungie cord with a chunk of foam rubber to hold and insulate the probe.
