Putty

[gypsyjazzer]

Does anyone know what is the type of putty that is plyable / can be removed easily and does not go hard and used to attach a pickup to a bass / guitar etc. Some pickups come with such putty. Anyone know the make / where to obtain?

Thomann sell the black putty that's supplied with AKG contact pickups. It works OK and seems relatively kind to finishes but can spread out and creep after a while. Ordinary stationery white tack seems fine too - I've used both.

You could try using Sugru and make a permanently molded rubbery attachment thing, if there's some part you can mold it around.
You're only limited by your imagination with that stuff. It's a moldable, formable silicone rubber that you mold like plasticene but sets in rubbery form. Very neat stuff!

If it's for a contact type transducer as previously suggested, then bees wax is also an option.
