Supporting a gas pipe

[Stemar]

I need to run a new 3/8 gas pipe from the old location of the gas locker, which seriously interfered with access to the starboard engine to a new location in a transom locker which is suitably ventilated. There will be a roughly2.5m run through the engine bay. Obviously, the pipe needs to be supported regularly, but it needs to be on the outside of the hull, so using screw-in clips seems like a bad idea.

Any reason for not just running it in a length of this, which is self adhesive and even sticks to slightly uneven surfaces like the proverbial to a blanket?

Not Gas pipe but I've supported lots of deck head wiring with blobs of CT1/OB1 with the wire pushed into it. Seems to stay stuck permanently.

I think you will find that it looses its grip when warm.
Have you thought of bonding a wooden batten to the hull with CT1 or OB1 and clipping the pipe onto the top of it with the clips in reverse so that it is supported over the whole length and there is no direct weight on the clips?

My gas pipe was attached to the hull topsides by passing it through short lengths of rubber hose that were 'glued' on using whatever sealant/adhesive Sadler used 40 years ago. The same method using modern stuff like OB1 would be excellent.

Bond wooden pads to well cleaned patches of the hull (a hard type of car body filler works well) at the appropriate intervals fix the pipe with p clips screwed to the wooden pads.

Glas it in place with some glass tape and resin

That’s how my gas pipe came and I see no reason to change it.
