My use for this was a bit unusual - a label on the lid of my bread machine that had peeled off. Obviously any adhesive I chose would need to be heat resistant but I didn't want those that were thick, black goop. I spread out a thin layer of the Permatex on the lid and pressed the label into place - it stuck very well and hasn't come off yet. The odor isn't as strong as that of some silicones I have used.
