by using silicone adhesive instead ;-)

Not sure what material hairspray is, but for me there are many variables.
Will it survive the fuser? will it transfer to the copper and make it
useless?

I will definitely head in the silicone direction some more.
All my neutral-curing silicone is old and doesn't cure any more, so i will
get fresh and try it, there shouldn't be any acetic acid. Anyone know if
it releases any possibly harmful substances when curing? But then i don't
even know if the acetic acid is a problem.
