[meteorite-list] Re-2: A little off topic -- adhesive I don't know what it is called

[mexicodoug at aim.com]

Hi Mike, All,

Sorry that email got away too soon, It is Cow Gum, not Cow Goo after 
reading my link to wiki, I wanted to add, that the solvent in rubber 
cement might not be the best thing to expose your meteorite to, but 
this stuff called mineral tack (only the white one is considered inert 
for mounting specimens).  I haven't tried it but I'd try it if I had an 
opportunity.  Why don't you give it a try and if possible let us know 
what you think, this looks like the good stuff for $ for 25g and $11 
for 100g.  To remove it make a tiny ball and blot off the pieces that 
remain behind in the lower parts of an irregular surface and it omes 
clean.  It is a specialized putty.

Item: 360120441273

Link (other better pries may be available, I didn't look too hard):

Best wishes, and Happy New Year Doug

Hi Mike, 
 
Sound liike the rubber cement we used in kindergarten. Doesn't 
penetrate so you can peel it off most applications. According to Wiki, 
it was marketed in England as Cow goo, but is generally as uncommon20in 
Europe as it is ubiquitous in the USA, probably to prevent kids from 
sniffing it or due to flammability concerns in the Old World.

Best wishes,

Hi all I know this is sorta off topic but there is a glue that is used 
to glue items to their packaging and it seems to hold pretty good but 
all you have to do is pull the product off and the glue just lets go 
and does not stick permanently. You can also rub it right off the back 
side too, or right off the packaging. (It is much like rubber) It is 
like it holds the product it in place firmly but doesn't really stick 
to the product. I know I see it all the time but I just can't remember 
the last time I saw it used. Well I do plan to use it to hold 
meteorites in place so this is not 100% off topic. I hope this make 
enough sense that someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks
