Hi Doug I think it must be a type of rubber cement, my wife just
reminded me of where I see it a lot. On those gift cards you buy at
the super store.They are a plastic card (like a credit card) and they
are glued to a paper backing with all the information on them. You
just peel the card off and the glue stays on the card board. They also
use it when your bank sends you a new bank card it is glued right to
the paper with all your information. It is held firmly in place but
the glue does not even rip the paper.
