Well actually i just suggested that, your idea may be better.
I have used a counter top lamination in the past and this makes
a nice rough bottom for the feet so they are non slide.

I really like the idea of putting sensors into hot glue for outdoors.
I wonder how long it would last under extreme conditions.

That's a good question and you reminded me of a use i almost
forget entirely about. That is, for tubes of OTHER glue
or silicone you can use it to block the top to prevent air
from getting into the glue. This works much better than
the standard tops that come with various glues and silicone
rubber tubes. I used this on a big tube of silicone and
it didnt dry out after two years time.
The standard tube tops usually allow some air to get to
the glue or silicone, even a little is no good because
over long periods of time the glue or silicone dries out
anyway. With a cover of hot glue it takes years.
I also did one tube where i made a small ball of hot glue
and then put it into the top of the glue, then when i
put the top on the glue tube it squeezed the hot glue
ball (cooled) into the tip of the glue tube and that made
a good air seal too to prevent drying out.
Too much sunlight will probably deteriorate the hot glue
and if the temperature gets too high it will cause it to soften.
This could be a problem so the effectiveness probably
varies from application to application.
