Wondering the same thing. I haven't used it, but Isaac, another 3946 mentor, has, and he though it was rather too stiff and not adhesive enough for small wires (we're only considering this for "friction" connectors like the 0.1" Dupont style/header connectors). There do seem to be several different products sold as "duct seal", so maybe he's familiar with something else. Would you be more specific, mac?

OBTW, we were planning to use the low temperature setting on our hot glue gun, which produces a much more viscous stream (more like caulk) than the high setting (thinner than syrup). It isn't readily reusable, but we haven't had any problems peeling it from plastic or metal surfaces, or even smooth papers or cardboard.
