Fintan,
I use 'No more nails' double sided sticky pads from woodies for my telrad. They work a treat.
Tip. Use a hair dryer to heat the pads and OTA for quick and non messy removal. I moved my telrad the other day and was able to remove the telrad/pads intact with the hair dryer method and the same pads were used to restick the telrad in its new position

No more nails...
Good idea. Much stronger then my pritstick idea.
Yep a hair dryer will heat the glue up and make it easy to remove.
