Not if you're like me--making "patches" that I later want to undo! Nail
polish is pretty neat stuff--if I'm working on a wirewrap project, I can
"tack" troublesome wires out of the way, yet easily free them if I need to.
When doing a wirewrap project, I'll take some red nail polish (pick your
shade) and mark pin 1 of all of the packages on the wiring side. Keeps me
honest--all those pins poking up at me makes it easy to lose my place.
I've thought about taking one of the other colors--such as green--and
marking the diagonally opposite corner of each package.
I suppose one could also tack a wire down with gel-type cyanoacrylate
(Super) glue, but I'd probably end up gluing my fingers to the PCB.
