Not heard of this product, but would like to know more...

Some other options!
1) PRELEG wire is a ptfe mod wire with a pre-deposited hot melt adhesive, which
you apply with a grooved soldering iron tip. Sounds like a more sophisticated
version of what you asked for. Preleg are in Englewood, Florida.
2) There are *very* fast light cure wire tacking adhesives available now, which
can use cheap spot lamps to cure. Try Dymax, Loctite.
3) Self adhesive dots with a very high tack adhesive.

I wrote an article about this once, which, unfortunately, is not on-line. But I
would be pleased to *fax* it to anyone who e-mails me their fax number, off
TechNet.
