	Eric: A peelable silicone should give you the properties your 
after.Dow Corning has a line of one component RTV's for electroninc 
applications. You can contact them at 1-800-248-2481.Make sure you select one 
with a high tensile and tear resistance to allow easy removal after 
processing.								
	There are also peelable vinyls available that may fit your 
needs,however since I don't know the details of your process and requirements 
I'm hesitant to specify a particular one.				
				Good Luck
