Fugitive glue

Fugitive glue, also called credit card glue, E-z-release glue, or (colloquially) booger glue, is a low-tack adhesive that produces a removable, non-permanent joint. There is only a minimal residue of the other material remaining on the glue, and minimal amount of damage caused to the separated surfaces.

Fugitive glues are frequently used in marketing, where some object - product sample or a return envelope - is glued to another, usually paper, object - a mailing envelope or a magazine. They tend to perform best on smooth, non-porous surfaces. Unlike adhesives used on post-it notes, the joint is not resealable.

Fugitive glues are frequently available in the form of hot melt adhesives. They can be also applied in liquid form. They can also act as pressure sensitive adhesives.

Some fugitive glues are latex-based.[1]
