Mark,

I had found "UV cured epoxy" works extremely well for jumper wire
tacking. Available in prepackaged syringes, it is easily applied, then
cured with a blast of high intensity ultraviolet light (approx. 2 sec).
It can be formulated to be heat cured as well, allowing the wave
soldering or reflow process to enhance the cured zones, improve
adhesion, and cure "shadowed" material (not exposed to the UV). It does
indeed survive the thermal excursions quite well!

The only drawback is safety wielding a fiberoptic wand that outputs
such energy levels. The solution was an x-y table securing the wand in
a downward orientation , surrounded by UV attenuating plastic shielding
protecting the operator and nearby spectators.

The folks I had worked with on this project was UVEX (not the ski
goggle company) in the bay area.

I'd be glad to share more details "offline" if you like.
