[TowerTalk] Cable ties, tape or both?

So far as I know only Black cable ties can be UV resistant.

Don't take the UV resistance to the bank. I bought some blue tywraps
that 
were allegedly UV resistant at a hamfest last year. I left a few of them

sitting out in the sun for three months, they became brittle enough that

they broke when I tried to wrap them around a cable.
