Yes, there is a commercial product used for this purpose, it is Loc-Tite
444 wire Tacking Adhesive also sold as Tac-Pak...

However there is no reason why epoxy would not serve the same purpose or
possibly a drop of hot glue from a glue gun...  Duco Cement is another
that comes to mind and the old standby, when nothing else is available,
a drop or two of clear fingernail polish...
