Temporary reef putty?

Anybody know of anything reef safe products besides super glue and epoxy to give a little temporary hold when testing out locations of Frags or plugs, and keep them relatively in place for a short time?  Thinking there must be something with a little bit of stick to it and chewing gum consistency.

I do not know of anything other than Super glue or epoxy. 

 

However, I have found that even with the super glue, it is quite easy to snap them off the rock with a bone cutter. If I am just testing out a location, I would glue the entire plug to the rock (plug stem and all). This makes it easy to just cut the plug off the rock when I need to move it. 

 

I have also seen those who would drill multiple holes into the rock that would fit frag plugs. This makes it easier to move corals around. I think youtube channel Coral Euphoria (?) did a very good job of explaining it.

Those who have done it usually don't make millions. I would be happy just breaking even
