I actually see them all over.
Lowes,
Home depot,
most HW stores,
many of the Office stores have them for power/network cord ties.

In both Lowes and HD they were in the electrical department next to the cable ties.
They had both black and white.

FYI the white cable ties break down rather quickly in high light/heat. The black ones are made to withstand more UV. (It pays to be married lol)

Over time, the sticky backs will come loose. Another option would be to get some tiny wood screws and screw the zip tie to your stand. That is what I did. Works well.

The bases have a hole for a mounting screw. Is that what you meant?

I've never used the type of mounting base with a screw hole. If they have them, that would be great to put a screw through it rather than use the adhesive. I just put the screw directly throught the zip tie, but screwing the mounting base would be a better option.

Didn't thank you for your input, sorry! I'll have to go back through and screw my bases down!

I get mine from Graybar, but I have seen them everywhere.
How many do you need? If you only need a few I am sure you could come and pick some up.
