In the 8/31 issue of MMD, Brian Thornton wrote that plastic hot melt
glue has no redeeming value. I agree with him 99%, but there is one
nifty use: After removing the lead tubing from a drawer, it is a
miserable job to try to hold 100 springy rubber  tubes in place. A
little dab of hot melt glue here and there can work wonders. Paul
Manganaro gave me that tip a few years ago.
