Seems dumb to me. Soldering is fun and easy. Glue is a Sega.

It is also Dang easy to get rid of solder without hurting things as compared to glue.
If you can solder something, you can desolder it. Doesn't work the sane with glue.

Yeah we've seen this before. Solder's better.

If you use it on a portable, would that just get all melty?

And it may not get... melty, but the wire glue doesn't make as good of a contact and is harder to work with if you *Can'tSayThisOnTV* up. The only thing I would use wire glue for is if I had no iron or solder or electricity and was modding by candlelight.

If it was a replacement for solder, I'm sure places like radioshack would carry it. Not to mention, glue is a pain in the ass to take off of anything. With solder you just touch the iron to the wire and it'll come right off. See what I'm getting at?

I also read somewhere that it sucked as well. Like crumbled when any force at all is put on it and didn't stick.

Not to mention it is far less electrically conductive than solder with a rating of like 16 ohms per cc it said.
