Yep, I will agree with you there Peter,
Superglue is not the answer.  I used it once - never again.  It really
stings your eyes if the fumes get in them once heated.

CA produces deadly fumes when heated. Normally a PCB repair kit would use
heat resistant epoxy instead of CA afaik. You can get quick setting epoxy
rated for 250 deg. C. This will also release fumes when overheated but
they won't kill or blind you outright like CA. If you use proper grade
epoxy it should stand up to reworking.
