Okay if a .001 cap gets some across the leads. A loctite tack-pack adhesive would be a better choice. You don't know if it's conductive, corrosive, or hygroscopic. I've seen something like this done, which resulted in nearly 100% failure rate after 18 months because the glue absorbed moisture, and corroded the tracks off the board. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
