        I just call 3M and ask for samples. Or buy it, even, if it's not
ridiculous pricing. The 3M reps in my area are very accomodating. And if
you're not exactly what kind of product you need, they'll be happy to
discuss it with you.

        I needed some cyanoacylate to hold down 30ga mod wires on a PCB. I wanted
something that was removable (peelable, they call it), set quickly (under 30
seconds), and didn't require a hardener or accelerant. Pronto CA8 Instant
Adhesive was the recommendation. Pretty good stuff, except for it does that
"super glue fingerprint" thing, where any fingerprint oils on the board near
where you put it down are highlighted by the fumes.
