Perhaps you might consider:
1) Adhesives, good idea. Photocures might be better than heat cure (speed,
stress, handling). Suggest you don't think about removal - why not use a
permanent one? Cosmetics?
2) There was a thing used in the UK called a VaccuClamp (sp?). This
stretched a thin piece of film over the component side of the assembled pcb,
which was then "shrink wrapped" - heated to form to the assembly contours.
Immediately after wave soldering, whilst still warm, it could be removed
easily. It _was_ quite popular, haven't seen one recently. Potential problems:
doesn't work with all geometries, static charges, sometimes rips components out
during film removal. Some talk of flux fume entrapment during soldering giving
problems. Probably worth a shot. I don't know of US supplier, could give you
details of a potential UK source.
3) Make a high temperature bean bag and lay it over suspect components to
weight them down over the soldering machine. Potential problem: extra weight on
a large pcb might contribute to warpage during soldering.
Good luck!
