Homebrew PCBs

glue instead of solder is not "holding down smd components" glue.

the smd glue i know is white or red, and if you want to replace a component 
brute force or a proxxon grinder are the only methods i know to remove it.

i am not sure if it is really needed to use glue. if you can put the board 
carefully in and out the
oven it is not necessary i think. also with industrial boards not all are 
"glued".
