−	However the above is difficult to reverse, should you want to take things apart. While you can sand it down, it may be more trouble than it's worth. For temporary installations, another way to use it is to apply small spots of the glue at various points, such as you might when making tack welds. These can be easily chiseled off if kept small enough. I have used such tack putty welds to keep my weather station from rotating where it sits on a metal pole. It's just enough to keep it from moving, while still removable.	+	However the above is difficult to reverse, should you want to take things apart.

 A can keeps for a couple months if kept in a cool and dark place. Keep the cover on when not in use. Use a large popsicle stick and a paper cup to mix a small amount. It can cure quickly if you use too much catalyst, but since the quantity is low, it's easy to try again. The images below are my preferred way to use it around the shop, as an ad-hoc adhesive.
