I must share this slowly-realised opinion, since I use it regularly. First, I am in my 14th year of construction – for many reasons, one of which is sloth.
However, Bob Nuckols suggested “Shoo Goo”, also known as E6000 I believe – and which is locally available at the Dollar Store.
It is clear, colourless and an alcohol-based adhesive which squeezes out (not really liquid) and sets fairly quickly. By the time the day is up, it’s pretty hardened but it continues until really stiff. It does not transmit electricity, but CAN be pried out/off with a blade if necessary. It hardens in the tube after about a year.
I used it to fix cable runs when an epoxied base was not feasible, but then I needed something running a bit thinner. I mixed an equal amount of Toluol [acetone don’t do it )into a small plastic container (Kodak 35mm) with an equal dollop of Shoo Goo and shook and stirred it until reduced in viscosity. Magic.
I may now apply the thinner adhesive onto exposed wiring, and adjust the thickness progressively (if necessary) with a bamboo stick, and in two days it’s hard as nails and really tenacious. When the ‘rubber nipples” don’t completely seal off the air, thinned Shoo Goo does it nicely – and easily. I have tested it after 5 years and found it still as good as ever.
Anyway, it’s worth the try.......

don't suppose you know if it exists our side of the pond do you? No doubt someone thought a different name would be used. Not helpful to we users

Grahame,
Sorry, can’t answer on the forum because it always refuses my log in, but:
My understanding is that E6000 is an industry designator (must look it up) and so p’raps it can be googled into submission.
Trust you both in good order.....

Graham - there is stuff called Shoe Goo available on Amazon UK at:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shoe-Goo-Original-Formula-Colours/dp/B0010YTLUU/ref=pd_sim_sg_1
and the description seems to match what Fergus described.
Repair Products UK also have E6000 in a different packaging to the Shoe Goo on their website at a slightly higher price than Amazon:
http://www.repairproducts.co.uk/page35.htm
As ever, Google is your friend!
Hope this helps.

Hi Graham
I brought some shoo goo from a English supplier a couple of years ago on EBay, so it should be available
here if you look,
