Most of you will have seen it holding parts down to PCBs on Asian
made equipment and many of those will have seen what happens if the
parts involved get hot.

Is that hot melt glue or something else?
Hot melt should, umm... melt, not burn.

**No. It is a type of contact adhesive. It is still in widespread use, for
reasons I don't understand. Some, more enlightened manufacturers, use a
silicon type glue, which has a much higher burning temperature.
