Are you asking if there's use for temporarily sticking stuff to other stuff?

Yes, plenty. Especially if it sticks well while needed, and then can be non-destructively undone when no longer needed.

That is generally what fixturing implies. A temporary bond that you use while making a part, and then remove when the part is complete.

I think it could also be used outside of making a part. For example you want to setup sensor on a surface but it's important not to damage the surface, like the outside of a boat. This would be excellent for that.
