I'm looking for someone who knows about stucco and how exactly can I put Christmas lights up on top without damaging the stucco. Any advice?

Thankyou. I have that glue and i thought about using it, but would I glue the lights directly to the stucco, or use the supports? DUH, I'm completely dumb when it comes to this stuff. Please be patient!

Seriously people, Do you really think this question would be asked if there was a wood rafter? I am suffering from the same problem. I have all stucco right up to my "s" tile roof. I have tried the clip things and they don't work for crap! I am looking for any advice.
Is there a special name for the vine support glue? And would I just go into a Home Depot or wherever and ask them to show me vine supports?

The vine supports that I have are just in a simple clear bag and the name on it is Gardeners Blue Ribbon Vine Supports. It comes with the glue (which is comparible to rubber cement), little plastic supports and bread ties, however, I'm thinking of using heavy duty velcro (the ties have metal). They cost 3.99 for 16. I'm gluing today and letting them sit overnight, I should find out if it was all worth it tomorrow.
