I was hacking a circuit board over the weekend and wherever there was a wire connection to the board, the connection was covered with this yellow-y opaque sticky insulator stuff. I had to remove it to do the rewiring (sort of just peeled off with a little work).
But now I need some more to put back on.
The connections are very small and very close and the wires will get movement.
I've seen the liquid electrical tape (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=47206.0), but that's not it. It's not black, and it sounds like the black stuff is hard to remove.
Any thoughts??
[wait... could it have been rubber cement? Could I use this as an insulator on some switch wires?]

In those types of situations I usually use a hot glue gun. It is about the only thing a glue guns is good for. The glue is easy to apply and fills all the gaps. It dries fast and solid, but with some elasticity. It will act like an insulator and keep delicate solder connections from breaking. It is especially usefull for fragile connectors that get a lot of use.
