Back when we use to wave solder we would stabilize components using a water
soluble solder mask. We would dispense it over the middle of the components
and let it set up. It had just enough hold to keep them in the board but was
easy to get off in the wash.

We trimmed our components to length before wave solder so it was important
to keep them in place. It wouldn't take too much float to pull the lead up
beyond recognition.

Hope this helps a little.
