Hot glue ?

My daughter believes that the world has not yet woken up to the phenomenal possibilities of sellotape.

I had an A&E surgeon who thought the same.

Did the gerbil survive?

Also good for sticking cables to PITA surfaces that resist nails - also things like taking awkward cables into wall chases prior to plastering.

Handy for potting small circuits in boxes...

You can sometimes find rawlplug sticks that are handy for getting a fixing in really crumbly plaster.

Sticks plastic to wood quite well.

The surgeon was using it as a low-tack alternative to sticking plaster. Since many of his patients were hairy rock climbers, it was the humane thing to do.

[Andy Dingley]

Yes, but the "open time" is annoyingly short before the glue sets.

I just wear disposable gloves. If you blob yourself badly, you peel.

Thanks for that, I'll stick to the hot melt (pun not intended.)

Sorry, the goons "Unchained Melodies" (Decca 1964) was an LP - I just checked

[Edwin Spector]

Ah, you are forgetting the rest of the song. It was a "fiddle of gold." Prolly assembled with silver solder, to withstand the high temperature.

I never knew it - being country and western s**te, the first line is as far as I ever heard.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Its a bit more than country and western, that one...
