Ummmm..... Don’t know what you’re talking about unless you are referring to solder paste. But this inst meant to hold the wire in place it’s meant to aid in making a good clean bond for the solder while soldering. You can get it at Radio Shack look for 'Rosin Solder Flux' or anything like that.

I think he is refering to hot glue:)

[mollar]

ya hot glue


Is it Just a glue gun? and whatever glue it uses?

[bighap]

Yep.

Ive heard that low temp glue sticks are better. Especially if you ever intend on taking off the wires. I have used high temp on other things and that stuff sticks hard.



Tyler!

[mollar]

never used a glue gun. Got one though

Will it peel off if u want to get it off? or do you have to heat it to get it off?

[bighap]

It should peel off, but if it doesn't just heat it up.

[TylerDurden]

Thats why I said use low temp glue sticks. They dont stick as hard as the high temp sticks do. You should be able to just gently peel it off.



Tyler!

Good to know

thanks

[dust2dust]

personally low temp doesnt bond to the board well

hight temp does, and it comes off without any problems

Don’t ever put hot glue on solder points in case you ever need to test, remove or upgrade. You’ll be in for a real treat if you do!!
