It does seem to be hard to find adhesive versions of "caterpillar" grommet (this stuff seems to have oodles of names). I did find one, Panduit GEE62F-A-C, so that's the one I'm considering. That's actually what I used in the pictures, but my spool's adhesive expired in 2002 so it's not ideally sticky anymore. I called Panduit and they said that the adhesive they use is a super-glue pressure-sensitive hot-melt type so it seems it should be much stronger new than the expired stuff I'm using.
Agreed about plans to re-do things. I'd take some more time to do it exactly right, however I'm on a time crunch (this is in part for a school project I'm supposed to present in early May) so a few concessions are made with the hope that the itch for perfectionism will be enough to motivate fixing them later.
You're right, local sources are great. I'm lucky enough to be nearby a McMaster will-call location, so I've been ordering online and then picking up in person. I'm also spoiled by several electronics supply stores in the area. I plan to move later this year, and I'm already trying to find where I'll source parts from in the new city. I think I'm going to miss all the local stores I have in my current city (Los Angleles/LA County).
