If you ever received a credit card, it was
likely stuck to a piece of paper with some icky glue that you can
rub off. The name of the glue is Fugitive Glue.
It is a low tack adhesive, which means that it is easy to remove. It
leaves a minimal residue on the paper and card. The glue is used for
marketing materials, as well as for mailing credit cards. The beauty
is that fugitive glue tends to lose most of it's stickiness after
the first application and cannot be reused. Hmmm, interesting
name for credit card use.
