Added Android Wear support for K9

I just added some very first Android Wear support for the K9 mailer.
The default actions where unsatisfactory as "reply" doesn't work on a watch unless you implement the voice recognition feature. "delete" shouldn't be offered if "confirm delete" is active and thus the user needs to confirm an action on the phone that he/she initiated on the watch.

For the time being I added "delete" (if confirm is off), "archive" and "spam".
Extensive checks are done to make sure these actions are possible. Since afterwards the user can not be informed about them failing as Toasts will apear on the phone, not the watch.

The plan is to
  • have the user select what 3 actions to show on watch+phone for single messages and groups of new messages
  • stack the notifications about multiple new messages
  • add the ability to reply using voice input

Ultimaker II Glue Stick issues

Help!

As glue-stick I have used the triangular Teasy EasyStick so far and they worked great.
However now the winter is gone and I had to move the printer to another city.
It's not as cool and the room is much smaller.
The ambient temperatures are rising above 23°C at 50° humidity indoors with a 75°C or 60°C heated bed and nearly no air flow in the tiny room and the glue stick completely evaporates within 10-30 seconds.

Filament either doesn't stick (if applied too early) or objects curl up and detach from the glass (if applied right before the print starts).

What European household brand of glue stick works in high temperatures? (Sorry, no Elmer's Invisible Glue on the right side of the pond.)
I don't have wood glue in the house but I'll try to get some and mix it with water to try.
I don't like to apply hair spray directly and the brand I tried doesn't work when applied to a piece of paper and then rubbed onto the glass.
