For things like removable mudguards etc?

I’m wondering if there’s anything with post-it note level of adhesion that I can spray on surfaces to help keep things in place when I’m riding.

If so, what do you use?

It’s already held on by silicone backed Velcro straps. I’m just wondering if there’s something additional to improve the adhesion of the silicone and stop it slipping.

It’s hairspray isn’t it?

I put some helicopter tape on my seatpost to clamp my mudguard around. Worked well.

This ^^ or the cheapskate version that has always worked well for me of either a couple of layers of insulation tape or a slice of inner tube held tight with a piece of the aforementioned insulation tape.

Have a look at Gorilla clear Mounting Tape.  So many bodges per roll.

I've used bits of old inner tube loads of times for mudgaurds and lights, even a couple of front mechs have had the treatment when we used to use those.
