I just call 3M and ask for samples. Or buy it, even, if it's not
ridiculous pricing. The 3M reps in my area are very accomodating. And if
you're not exactly what kind of product you need, they'll be happy to
discuss it with you.
I needed some cyanoacylate to hold down 30ga mod wires on a PCB. I wanted
something that was removable (peelable, they call it), set quickly (under 30
seconds), and didn't require a hardener or accelerant. Pronto CA8 Instant
Adhesive was the recommendation. Pretty good stuff, except for it does that
"super glue fingerprint" thing, where any fingerprint oils on the board near
where you put it down are highlighted by the fumes.

Cyanoacrylates don't seem to work worth a
crap anymore, I doubt
you'd find a
person willing to hang from a helmet glued to a
steel beam with
it anymore.
I am told the isocyano acrylic hydro-copolymerising adhesives on general
sale to the public are deliberately weakened so that idiots can't stick
themselves permanently together with them.
ZOG!. I want to be able to buy the _best_ adhesives (not ones that have
been made inferior) and I'll be careful with them...
