Alternative to Soldering

This video shows an alternative to soldering small components like the 0603 or 0402 SMD LED.  You see wire glue (a graphite substance) used to make contact between electronic parts.  Wire glue can be used for any low voltage connection, not just LEDs. Wire glue has a place in my tool box because sometimes you need a connection without the heat of a soldering iron.  Try it.  Wire gluing takes extra time because you have to basically tape parts into position, add the glue, and then wait for the glue to dry.
