I think he means that stuff used in packaging. Probably applied hot. You can peel it off and roll it into a ball - but it is not reusable like Blue-Tac and is clear. (IMHO)

An internet search for "Fugitive Adhesive" should sort you out.

It's called "fugitive" or "peelable" glue or adhesive. It sometime comes under the category of "PSA" or pressure-sensitive adhesive.
It is a high-tack hot-melt glue.
Google for "print finishing adhesives"
or "peelable adhesive" or "fugitive glue"

Few years ago, a PC mag referred to it as 'hi-tec snot' - seemed apposite.

Abiout 1963, this was the current funny joke in my class
Two men are travelling on a train, one is a chemist about to attend a polymer conference. The other is busy manipulating a rubbery material between his fingers...
"Excuse me, that seems a substance of some remarkable properties?" "Indeed, flexible, stretches slightly tacky.."
"But excuse me for intruding, how did you synthesise it?"
"What? I dunno I just went and there it was, in me hand mate!".
