How do you secure wires inside your model?

I'm installing the TrekModeller light kit in my refit and I'm wondering... Do you use epoxy, or CA to secure the wiring inside? Do you use masking tape? Tape can work in some instances but I'd be afraid it would weaken over time. Thoughts?

Rubber impregnated CA or Aves

White/wood glue.

Takes longer to dry but easy to fix wiring.

Hmmm, I've used white glue for fiber but not wiring. I would think it was t strong enough. Ate set in situations where the wire has some tension to it.
