How about gluing the ends between two popsickle sticks and gluing that to the RH.

Underside of your RH?If you are running them below 80% of their design limit, you should be fine.
For 1/4 watt resistors thats .2 Watts
For 1/2 watt resistors thats .4 Watts
The air should be more than enough to cool them and have a long life. The only thing I would be worried about is shorts.

I was thinking of using caulk to stick some 1/4 watt resistors to the plastic on the underside of my RH. Then thinking they need to dissipate heat, not such a good idea? How should I mount these things and to what? I will probably have seven resistors to mount somewhere. I don't want to leave them dangling mid-air like have seen some others doing, suggestions.
