I found something called "wire glue" can someone check it?
I found something online called "wire glue" that claims to be a glue-like alternative to solder. I'm thinking of using it for a ps1p, as I have no soldering experience.
Does anyone know if it works or not? Thanks.

It looks fine for loose soldering (like the "LED and a battery holder" 'project' they show), but there's nothing keeping it from bridging connections on circuit boards, and there's absolutely no way to use that stuff on surface-mount components.
You're much better off learning how to solder properly. It's not hard; just get an inexpensive iron at Radio Shack (preferably something with a good tip that's around 25w), some thin solder (easier to control), and something disposable to practice on. Find something like an old dial-up modem or small radio at Goodwill and use that.

Thanks
I'll eventually learn how to solder AND get some of this stuff for the loose parts

You'll pick it up pretty quickly. It's not too hard.arcade-entity wrote:ThanksI'll eventually learn how to solder AND get some of this stuff for the loose parts

I wish this stuff worked for more practical work.

I was just thinking that this wouldn't be a bad idea for quick soldering and you wouldn't have to wait for your iron to heat up, but then I saw "dries overnight." that sucks. who wants to wait overnight for two wires to be joined together when solder cools in seconds? but it would be pretty cool otherwise. 
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I wouldn't want to use it on small things like installing modchips or making rapid fire controllers, but for bigger things it might be more useful.
I don't think anything could beat a person that is skilled with a soldering iron.
