Hi Technet,

I'm looking for an adhesive that can be used for keeping heavy components in place during double sided reflow soldering. Up to now we're using PC-flexmask (the latex-type mask that is normally used for wave soldering) but this material needs a couple of hours to cure, and cannot withstand  the cleaning of intermediate  paste-misprints. 
The adhesive should have  following properties :
- fast curing, preferably at room temperature.
- withstanding soldering temperatures and cleaning (in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent)
- easy to remove after assembly, although visible residues are acceptable
- adhering to plastic and ceramic parts, and to solderresist
- nonconductive, non corrosive
Any suggestions ?
