I recall what you all are talking about, and it
reminds me of the
silicon glue type stuff, minus the vinegar smell that the early versions
One of my guesses, based on the fact that it doesn't seem to disolve in
anyhting, was that it was a silicone.
If the temperature is an issue above water boiling
point, one could use
hot oil to supply the temp, but it would still have a lot of heat, which
could damage it.
Hmm.. Hot oil, if it gets too hot, has the annoying habit of catching
fire and being a right pain ot extinguish! I'd rather not have that sort
of thing in my workshop (it's fine if you have a temperature-controlled
oil bath, it's much less fine if you're heating a pan of oil on the
cooker. In fact one thing I was worried about when I tried the hot-air
gun on it was that it could ignite.
Since somebody refered me o an article on the web that suggests it's
beeswax-based nadwill disolve in white spirit, I intent ot put the bits
in a container of said solvent and leave them for some time to see if
disolves at all.
