I've read that this is safe for electronics. But you know, people say all kinds of crazy sh*t on the internet. So I figured I"d come to this other crazy corner of the internet and ask...
The purpose is to add weight to a DIY light pen, and also to adhere the PCB to the plastic pen body. I have 2 "paying" (not much) customers and I'd like to deliver something that will last.
