Found a good use for that adhesive putty known as fun-tak or BlueStick to
hold through hole parts in place when soldering them. I've also used it on
occasion for a temporary High voltage insulator before doing final
potting.
The stuff is normally sold for putting posters and the like up on painted
walls without damage to the surfaces.

Also Stik-Tak, a similar product sold under the Duco name

Great! I often would ball up a paper towel to hold the through hole
components while I solder them in place.

I've used Silly Putty on occasion.


No comment! ;-)
