Yeah, I didn't want to string them together... nobody around here stocks p-clamps over 1.25" and since the size I needed was a larger "non-standard" size(maybe the 4" size you mentioned) I just settled for the zip-tie. Things were getting out of hand time-wise looking for a fender mount.
So far the zip-ties have been working great at holding up a plastic fender... apparently the plastic is good till -40c, UV resistant and can hold quite a few kg - though i wouldn't try to mount a rack with them.
