From all the stories of motor mounts that fail due to epoxy softening.
And from my dad telling me to use a torch to remove epoxy plugs from
car parts.  And from HowItWorks showing heat-softened epoxy sheets
used for vacuum forming.

Yes, if a pcb gets that hot, something else is usually wrong.  But if
you're suing 2oz copper and 1/8 boards, I'm guessing you're probably
concerned about heat anyway.

My only point is, if you're concerned about heat, be careful about the
adhesive you use.
