I am presenting a paper at Nepcon West next month entitled "Case Histories of 
Radiation Curing for Electronic Packaging". It contains details of using 
photocure (UV and/or visible light) adhesives for just this application. These 
adhesives are usually acrylic based, cure in seconds, and can meet some pretty 
tall specs, including automotive, Bellcore, etc.

E-mail me if you want US supplier details.
